Honey for sweetness if needed.

Thin lemon slices to decorate.

01 -
Heat up 1 quart of clean water until it’s bubbling.
02 -
Place your lemon balm leaves inside your tea-making pot.
03 -
Stir the leaves after pouring the hot water over them, then leave it to steep for 10 minutes.

Strain or pour the tea into your cup. Add honey if you’d like, and finish it off with a lemon slice and a couple of lemon balm leaves on top.
# Notes:
01 -
Dried or fresh lemon balm both work great for this.

The leaves also taste nice in salads and jellies.
03 -
Be careful with store-bought herbs, since they aren’t FDA-checked.
