Lemon balm
What a wonderful plant this is. Someone gave us a cutting last year and
it has already made a nice little shrub. Recently we've started harvesting it for lemon balm tea. Quite nice. Today for the first time we tried chilled lemon balm tea and it was a really pleasant lemon tasting drink with the evening meal. Better chilled than hot. Well worth growing. For two cups/glasses I use around 6 sprigs, each with around 6 leaves on, and chopped coarsely. Place in a tea pot, add boiling water and leave to stand for a least ten minutes. Today's was left to stand for at least half an hour before straining into two glasses and popping into the fridge to chill. Well worth trying if you have some lemon balm in the garden. -- David in Normandy.
