Description

Lemon Balm is a refreshing and zesty beverage that has gained popularity for its potential role in supporting weight loss. Made with the wholesome goodness of lemon, ginger, and other natural ingredients, this drink may help enhance metabolism, improve digestion, and promote overall wellness.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh lemon balm leaves or 2 tbsp dried lemon balm leaves
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 –2 tsp honey or lemon juice optional, for taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the Leaves: Gently wash the fresh lemon balm leaves under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean towel to eliminate excess moisture.

  2. Heat the Water: In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.

  3. Steep the Leaves: Once the water reaches a boil, remove the pot from heat. Add the lemon balm leaves, cover the pot, and let the mixture steep for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

  4. Strain and Flavor: Strain the brewed tea into serving cups or a teapot to remove the leaves. If desired, sweeten with honey or add a splash of fresh lemon juice for extra flavor.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy the tea warm for a soothing experience, or let it cool and pour over ice for a refreshing chilled beverage.

Notes

Storage Tips: Store fresh lemon balm in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to one week. For longer shelf life, dried lemon balm should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve its flavor and potency.

Flavor Enhancements: For added taste and health benefits, consider infusing your tea with a slice of fresh ginger or a few mint leaves. These additions can elevate the flavor while supporting digestion and wellness.

Hydration Benefits: This herbal tea not only supports digestion and weight management, but it also serves as a delicious and effective way to stay hydrated throughout the day.
