How can I properly soak basil seeds in water to maximize their health benefits?

To properly soak basil seeds in water for maximum health benefits, add 1 tablespoon of basil seeds to 1 cup of water and let them soak for at least 2 hours. This will allow the seeds to absorb water and swell up, releasing their nutrients and making them easier to digest. Drain any excess water before consuming the soaked seeds.
