  1. You can use holy basil(Tulsi) or thai basil too.
  2. Mint leaves can be replaced with basil leaves. Even i have tried with curry leaves too.
  3. Adjust the sweetness by adding little more honey or some sugar.
  4. Plain soda can be added if you want.
  5. Do not store it for a long time after it is made. It will lose it’s freshness.
