Basil seeds are also called vanilla seeds. In fact, basil seeds have nothing to do with this plant. Basil seed is the fruit of a plant called "Shanxiang", which has a certain health care function. Today, let's learn how to eat basil seeds.

Make basil seed drink.

In fact, basil seeds can be directly brewed with water. We can brew basil seeds with warm water, and be careful that the water temperature does not exceed 60 degrees, otherwise the nutritional components of basil seeds will be destroyed. We can also brew directly with cold water. Generally, we'd better drink basil seed water between one hour and half an hour before meals, which is better for our health. If we think that brewing basil seeds with boiling water has no taste, we can also brew basil seeds with other drinks such as orange juice, which will taste better.

Make basil seed dessert.

We can make more efforts to make basil seeds into Cantonese syrup. First of all, we should prepare accessories such as tremella, medlar and rock sugar, and basil seeds are also essential. Boil basil seeds with water, then boil tremella and rock sugar with water, then continue to add Lycium barbarum, and then add basil seeds later. Keep cooking for a while and you can take it out to eat. This dessert is very simple to make at home and delicious, which not only satisfies our appetite, but also absorbs the beneficial ingredients of basil seeds, killing two birds with one stone.
