Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp dried lemon balm leaves (or 2 tbsp fresh lemon balm leaves)
- 1 tsp honey or stevia (optional)
- 1 slice lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Boil Water: Heat 1 cup of fresh water until it reaches a gentle boil, ensuring it is hot enough to extract the flavors and beneficial compounds from the lemon balm leaves.
- Add Lemon Balm: Place 1 tablespoon of dried lemon balm leaves or 2 tablespoons of fresh leaves into a teapot or cup to prepare for steeping.
- Pour Hot Water: Carefully pour the boiled water over the lemon balm leaves in your teapot or cup to start the infusion process.
- Steep Properly: Cover the container and let the tea steep for 7–10 minutes. This allows the active compounds in the lemon balm to fully infuse into the water.
- Strain the Tea: Once steeped, strain out the leaves to obtain a smooth, clear tea ready for drinking.
- Optional Additions: Add 1 teaspoon of honey or stevia for sweetness if desired, and a slice of lemon for extra freshness and flavor enhancement.
