Lemon Balm Tea Recipe
Lemon balm helps tame anxiety and cognition. It also protects against irregular heartbeat, pain reducer and can be used as a weight loss aid.
I can’t think of a better cup of tea, than fresh, chemical free herbs infused into a cup. Is it just me or do commercial brands taste bland to you too?
Lemon Balm Tea
Recipe #1
Chop the lemon balm leaves
Heat the water in a cup in the microwave or on the stove until boiling.
Mix the leaves and water in a mug and allow to stand 10 minutes to steep.
Stir in honey and strain if desired. Enjoy cold or warm.
Lemon Balm Tea Blend
Recipe #2
MAKES: 1/4 cup tea blend, enough for 4 cups of tea
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons
dried lemon balm
1 tablespoon
dried Oat straw
2 tablespoons
dried, seedless Rose hips
1 1/2 teaspoons
dried orange peel
1/2 teaspoon
dried lavender
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container.
To make tea: For 1 cup of tea, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 rounded tablespoon of the tea blend. Cover and steep for 20 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey, if desired.
You could also infuse all 4 cups at once (a quart mason jar works well) and sip it throughout the day.
