Ingredients
- Fresh lemon balm leaves (1 generous handful, about 10-15 leaves): For vibrant, citrusy aroma and subtle sweetness.
- Filtered water (2 cups): Cleaner water enhances the delicate taste.
- Raw honey or agave syrup (1–2 teaspoons, optional): Adds gentle sweetness without overpowering the herbal notes.
- Fresh lemon slices (optional): Elevates the citrus profile and adds brightness.
- Dried lemon balm (substitution): Substitute 2 teaspoons if fresh isn’t available. Dried lemon verbena or mint work if you want a herbal twist.
