The look of cinnamon basil or Thai basil at my home.

I have grown this type of Cinnamon basil or Thai basil last year using cuttings [1]. But it withered and died during hot season in 2017.

Fortunately one of my gardening companion being generous to give me Cinnamon basil or Thai basil plant for me to grow it again. In Malay, this Cinnamon basil or Thai basil is called kemangi [2].

The pretty look of my Cinnamon basil or Thai basil purple flowers.

I am really loving this Cinnamon basil or Thai basil as I found it gives fast relief whenever I am bloating. Since I can just munch on its leaves like salad instead of need to boil water to make hot drink. Like when I am using ginger for my bloating issue. Good solution when I am in hurry.

The plant does give very strong herbal smell whenever my hands were brushed to it. It leaves also give slight spicy taste when consumed.
I just grow one from 50 basil species or varieties. Seems like I have lots to learn about basil plants. Also a lots to grow if I want to expand my basil collection.

Till then, have fun in growing Cinnamon basil or Thai basil at home😉.
