How to brew lemon balm
If you plan to drink tea, you will need 0.5 liters of water and 2 tablespoons of chopped herbs to prepare it.
Pour hot water over the lemon balm (not boiling water – the liquid temperature should be between 70-80 degrees) and cover the container with a lid.
After half an hour (no more), filter and cool the tea. You can add honey to it. Treat yourself to this drink in the evening, before going to bed.
The process of brewing lemon balm for external use differs only in that you will need twice as much herb.
