Well, actually I was getting something ready for the next episode of The Alexis Show – “How to Make Your Own Herbal Iced Teas.” (Wait did I just give something away?)

I’ve had a very productive mint and basil garden for several years now, but I wanted to try something new. So I bought this black basil. Actually, it’s not black but a very dark purple variety called “Amethyst”, and has an almost licorice aroma to it. Can’t wait to try it, when Alexis’ herbal iced tea episode airs later this month.

Until then, here’s a recipe I found for Hummus with Purple Basil.

I grew up in England, so you could say TEA is in my DNA. But it wasn’t so much my tea heritage that lead to The Daily Tea — partly it was business, and partly it was the experience of starting other media projects in Asia; if you do business in China, Taiwan or Japan, tea is omnipresent, and it doesn’t take too long to become a fan. These days, my day, every day starts religiously with a pot of some variety of black — currently I’m trying a variety of Keemun teas from China’s Qi Men district in Anhui province. Evening times, I revert to something non caffeinated, I particularly enjoy Rooibos w/ Lemon Myrtle, or just a plain Chamomile at the end of a tough day…
