In my experience "tiny" and "lemon balm" do not go together!

It is a lovely plant just to grab hold of in passing to get its lovely scent
but as Monty Don would say, a bit of a thug!

This question is on the verge of OT - but here it goes anyway...

Last spring, I planted a lemon balm in my luxury herb bed. The plant
was tiny, but this year it really has come into its own and looks
glorious in the middle of all the other herb perenials which are
crowding the bed.
I use and abuse all my herbs, putting them into all manners of dishes
and salads, cooked or raw.
However, I don't know what to do with my lemon balm. I know it has
medicinal properties, and is recommended in teas to soothe the stomach,
but I have no idea what to do with it in the kitchen - which is my main
motivation for growing herbs.
Any thought?

I made five gallons of delicious Melissa wine, some years ago, but
then, I had a lot of it in the garden! Very soporific, it was! G
