Tea made from basil leaves may have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It's easy to make at home and costs very little. One method is to boil a half-cup of basil leaves in 2-1/4 cups water. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to low and brew for 3 to 4 minutes. Then, add in two of your favorite tea bags and sugar to taste.
