Lemon Spice Tea - Tea Blend of the Month


Lemon Balm needs to be harvested again and if you grow it in is often hard to find different ways to use it, but I have many, so check out this link to a search of all the recipes I have posted using Lemon Balm. But for now try thisd great tea blend with lemon flavors and a hint of clove for a seasonal twist.

Lemon Spice Tea

  • 1 cup lemon balm
  • 1/2 cup lemn grass, chopped
  • 1/2 cup peppermint
  • 1/4 cup whole cloves
  • 3 teaspoons slivered lemon peel

Combine herbs and lemon peel in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid and shake well.  Enjoy 1 tsp per cup of hot water and steep 5 to 7 minutes.  Color will be light.

If using fresh herbs chop the herbs evenly to a uniform size and use 1 Tablespoon per cup of hot water. Steeping 5 to 7 minutes.  Don't make this as a sun tea, but it is good cold.
