Brewing Instructions

Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon balm in a tea infuser or teapot. Add 8 fluid ounces of water heated to about 200°F, cover and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain completely. For a stronger cup, use more herb rather than extending the steep time. Sweeten or add lemon if desired.

Storage
