Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh lemon balm leaves (about 1 packed handful) – For the brightest, citrusy-mint flavor.
- Substitution Tip: If fresh lemon balm is unavailable, use 2 tablespoons dried lemon balm, which has a more concentrated essence.
- 2 cups filtered water – For a clean, pure taste.
- 1 slice fresh lemon (optional) – Adds a zesty, invigorating note.
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional) – Enhances sweetness without overpowering the delicate herbs; try maple syrup for a deeper flavor.
- Fresh mint, ginger, or lavender sprigs (optional for variation) – For a boost of aromatics or to tailor the benefits to your mood.
