Many countries including India have been using crude plants as medicine since Vedic period. Major part of the total population in developing countries still uses traditional folk medicine obtained from plant resources . Tulsi is a popular culinary, ornamental herb with higher oxidative potential. Endless miraculous medicinal values are attributed to it. Garcinia indica (dried rind known as ‘kokam’) is an Indian spice used in many parts of the country, contains garcinol, hydroxycitric acid which provides it chemo preventive and anti obesity activity. Tulsi-kokum tea was optimized at 13.5% dried tulsi leaves, 9.91% dried lemongrass leaves, 8.26% dried ginger, 0.99% cinnamon, 0.66% dried palash (flame of forest) flowers, 66.62% kokum syrup of 110Bx. Herbal tea formulation contained 6% moisture, 41.56% carbohydrate, 11.33% protein, 30.0% ash, 8.0% crude fiber. Bright, sparkling and clear infusion of light brown color with good aroma and taste was obtained from optimized herbal formulation.
