Thai basil (Ocimum basilicum) is an herb with small green leaves. It has a stronger taste than many other sweet basils. One variety used in the USA is "Queen of Siam". The herb has small leaves, purple stems and a subtle licorice taste. It is easily confused with Holy Basil which has a completely different aroma.
