Ingredients

1 cup fresh lemon balm leaves (or 1–2 teaspoons dried)
2 cups hot water
1 tsp honey (optional)
2-3 slices lemon (optional)

Instructions

Rinse the lemon balm leaves gently under clean water.
Place the leaves in a cup or teapot.
Pour hot water over the leaves to start the infusion.
Let the mixture steep for 5–10 minutes depending on desired strength.
Strain the leaves from the liquid.
Add honey or lemon slices if desired and stir gently.
Serve warm or let cool and pour over ice for a refreshing version.

Use fresh lemon balm leaves for the best flavor, or dried leaves for convenience. Avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness. Add honey or lemon slices for extra taste. Chill for a refreshing iced version or enjoy warm for a calming effect.
