Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh lemon balm leaves (or 2 tablespoons dried lemon balm)
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia, to taste)
- 1/2 lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Lemon Balm: If using fresh lemon balm, rinse the leaves thoroughly under cool water.
- Boil the Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
- Infuse the Lemon Balm: Add the lemon balm leaves to the boiling water. If using dried lemon balm, add 2 tablespoons.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the lemon balm simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to fully infuse.
- Cool and Strain: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for a few minutes. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the leaves.
- Add Sweetener & Lemon: Stir in your natural sweetener of choice until dissolved. Add lemon slices to the drink.
- Serve: Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator for an iced version. Enjoy!
- Optional: Add additional herbs like mint or ginger for extra flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
- For a stronger lemon balm flavor, use more leaves or simmer for a longer time.
- Fresh lemon balm provides a more vibrant flavor, while dried works well as a convenient alternative.
- This drink can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can use different natural sweeteners such as agave, or monk fruit.
- If you prefer a less strong flavor, you can also reduce the simmering time.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra spice.
