    This will be a very handy recipe when winter sets in. Can I used dried Indian borage and dried tulsi as we hardly get fresh ones here?

    Herbal tea with Indian borage, ginger, coriander seeds and cumin was what my mother in law use to give to drink everyday during my postpartum. With tulsi and pepper added makes it an excellent hot drink to enjoy when one comes down with colds and coughs.
