PREPARATION OF LEMON BALM AND MINT HERBAL TEA

  • Prepare the herbs: Clean the lemon balm and mint leaves by washing and rinsing them under cool running water.
  • Steep the herbs: Start by putting the leaves of lemon balm and mint into a heat-proof mug or teapot. Now, pour boiling water over the leaves.
  • Infuse the tea: Tuck a lid on your mug or teapot and let the infusion steep for 5 to 7 minutes. That will infuse herbs into your water along with their essential oils and flavours.
  • Strain and sweeten: Strain the drink to get the lemon balm and mint leaves out of your beverage. You may add 1 teaspoon of honey if you would like your drink a little sweeter.
  • Serve: Pour this tea hot for a warming infusion, but cool it to room temperature and chill it over ice for refreshing herbal iced tea.

PREP TIME

2 minutes

COOKING TIME

5-7 minutes (steeping)

TIPS

  • For stronger flavour, it can be steeped for 10 minutes, or you can use more leaves.
  • Chill it and serve. If you want, chill the tea, then refrigerate until very cold or up to 2 hours before serving over ice cubes.
  • Fresh herbs are preferred, though dried herbs can be substituted. Use 1 teaspoon of dried lemon balm or dried mint in place of the fresh.

VARIATIONS

  • You can add a slice of fresh lemon or orange for the enhanced refreshing citrus flavour.
  • Add dried lavender for the floral touch to soothe the mind.
  • With the infusion process, one could add slices of fresh ginger to produce a hot and spicy flavour.
  • Allow it to cool, then serve over ice with slices of cucumber for an incredibly cooling drink that is perfect for summer.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store leftover tea in a container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat or drink chilled.
  • Freezing: The herbal tea can be frozen in ice cube trays. The herbal tea cubes can then be used in cold water or other beverages to improve the chilling properties.
