HOW TO MAKE LEMON BALM TEA FROM FRESH OR DRIED LEMON BALM

Steps:

• Harvest lemon balm and any additional herbs you wish to use. Herbs are generally at their peak for harvesting in the late morning after the dew has dried.
• You'll need about 1/4 cup of fresh lemon balm leaves per cup of water. To make 3 cups of tea, use 3/4 cups of fresh lemon balm leaves.
• Rinse herbs and place in a large teapot or mason jar.
• Cover with boiled filtered water and allow to steep at least 10 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Strain and refrigerate what you won't drink immediately.
• To brew lemon balm tea from dried lemon balm, the recommendation is typically to use 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon per cup of water. To make 3 cups, use 3 tablespoons dried lemon balm and 3 cups freshly boiled water.
• Place dried lemon balm in a large teapot or mason jar. Cover with boiled filtered water and allow to steep at least 10 minutes and up to 4 hours.
