Question 1

How do I brew tea from dried lemon balm?

Accepted Answer

Measure out one to two teaspoons of cut lemon balm per cup of hot water (approx. 200 ml). Cover the vessel and leave to steep for 5 to 10 minutes — this prevents the essential oils from evaporating. Strain and serve immediately; honey may be added to taste. Combined with chamomile, lime blossom, or mint, lemon balm makes a particularly harmonious blend.

Question 2

What else can lemon balm be used for besides tea?

Accepted Answer

Dried lemon balm is versatile as a cosmetic ingredient too. Added to boiling water for a facial steam, it acts as a skin cleanser. Scattered in bath water, it provides a fragrant, refreshing bathing experience. It can also be used as an ingredient in natural creams, body lotions, and fragrant cushion fillings. Mixed into potpourri, it adds a citrusy freshness to dried flower compositions.

Question 3

Where does this lemon balm come from?

Accepted Answer

This dried lemon balm originates from Egypt, where the cultivation and processing of Melissa officinalis has a long tradition. Egypt is one of the main herbal exporters of the Mediterranean region — the production expertise and climatic conditions together favour the cultivation of lemon balm.
