Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 teaspoons dried lemon balm leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh leaves, lightly bruised
  • 1 cup freshly boiled water about 240 ml
  • 1 slice lemon optional - or a small drizzle of honey

Equipment

  • cup or teapot

Method
 

  1. Place the leaves in a cup or teapot. Pour over the just-boiled water.
  2. Cover and steep for 5–10 minutes. Covering keeps the aromatic oils in the cup.
  3. Strain, then sip slowly over 10–15 minutes.
  4. Drink 30–60 minutes before bed, as part of your wind-down — not in bed, not while scrolling.
