Lemon Balm Infused Water Recipe
This is such an easy and delicious way to consume fresh lemon balm throughout the summer and early fall! I find it easiest to make by the half-gallon.
Equipment
- 1 jar with lid -- the 1/2 gallon Ball Canning jars work great in this recipe.
Ingredients
- fresh lemon balm (leaves and stems) to loosely fill the jar
- water to fill the jar
- optional additions: fresh lemon, lime or orange slices, cucumber slices, fresh peppermint or spearmint leaves, dried hibiscus flowers, etc.
Instructions
- Loosely fill a glass jar with fresh lemon balm leaves. If desired, add any of the optional ingredients for added flavor.
- Fill the jar with water and refrigerate for several hours. Serve cold.
