About to steep Thai basil and jambu (spilanthes, toothache plant) for a nice before-bed sip of something warm.
This is always a nice combo and a good way to use the flowering tips of basil.

I know all about Basil, but jambu, toothache plant I have never heard of. I suppose it was a herb used when people had toothache? Or am I wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, The flowers and leaves have a mild numbing effect.
ReplyDeleteSome people say it feels like there's Pop Rocks in your mouth if you chew a whole button. Taste-wise, it's kind of like a lightly salty celery-leaf. Some do use it medicinally, but I mostly like it because it's a cheery-looking flower.
I posted more about is last year. Here's a link to one of the posts:
