Basil, the most regal of all herbs, decided to celebrate life with a tea dance & invited the mystics from the east: cinnamon, ginger & cardamom. They came bearing gifts of warmth & spice. Also amongst the guests were chili, who came from Mexico, bringing its soothing warmth, & Liquorice, who came all the way from Egypt, revealing the secret for enhancing the senses. Together they danced, rejoiced & celebrated life.
