是时候收割我的植物了！哈哈，就来要给我剪得光秃秃的，你知道这是什么植物吗？
Bingo, is “Herba Ocimi Basilici ”. I really like its fragrance. Especially Hakka people mostly use it to make their traditional Thunder Tea Rice called "Lei Cha",quite similar like matcha tea but "Lei Cha" put more ingredients & more tasty.
答对了，就是“九层塔”！我很喜爱它的香味，尤其是客家人会用它来做擂茶饭汤，想到都流口水了！
But this time harvesting not much, insufficient for thunder rice usage, only can stir fried as veggie.
但是这次收割不多，不能做擂茶，只能当菜吃。
I choose to put in my dry noodle with stir fried garlic's and mince meat. So Yummy, I love the fragrant flavor around the whole bowl of noodles. After finish still have the smell of mint, so Infinitive refreshing!
我选择放在我的干捞面里再配搭大蒜炒肉，Hmm...那芬芳香味就在整碗面里，吃入口还有那薄荷味，回味无穷，好爽快！
