Lemon Balm Iced Tea



There is Lemon Balm growing in several areas of my yard. Some of it I planted and some of it is "volunteer". I have recently been making iced tea with the abundance that I have.




To make the tea (you could also use mint if you have that), cut about 7 or 8 full stems of the lemon balm. Put it in a tea pot. Heat enough water in a separate pan, enough to fill the tea pot, just to a boil. Add the heated water (carefully) to the tea pot. Add several teaspoons of local honey. Let it steep for at least 10 minutes. Refrigerate.

YUM!
