A herbal tea known for its light lemony scent, made by steeping dried lemon balm leaves in boiling water. Traditionally known for its calming effect, this tea is especially favored in the evening.
Boil two cups of water and remove from heat; wait a few seconds before the water settles, since adding the leaves directly to boiling water can cause bitterness.
Add the dried lemon balm leaves to the hot water, cover, and let steep for 5-7 minutes; the water's color should turn light yellow-green.
Strain the tea through a fine strainer and divide among cups; if you like, sweeten with a dessertspoon of honey and serve hot.
Important: Add the lemon balm leaves to water that has been taken off the heat and rested a few seconds, not to boiling water; prolonged boiling drives off the aroma. Those on regular medication (especially thyroid or sedative medications) are advised to consult their doctor before consuming.
To keep the tea from turning bitter, don't leave the lemon balm leaves in water for more than 5-7 minutes. If you'd like to sweeten it, you can add a dessertspoon of honey when serving.
