Lemonade with lemon balm

Ingredients

Servings

Melissa leaves

0.5 glasses
Honey

2 tbsp
Lemon

1 pcs
Water

2 glass
Water for boiling

1 cup

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the lemon balm leaves under running water. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the lemon balm leaves and let steep for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the lemon balm to infuse thoroughly, releasing all its flavor and aroma into the infusion.

Step 2

Squeeze the juice from one lemon. To ensure the juice flows smoothly, roll the lemon on the counter first. Be careful not to get any seeds in the juice, or strain the mixture after squeezing.

Step 3

Dissolve honey in the remaining water. You can substitute the honey with an equal amount of sugar or sweetener. Heat the water until the added ingredients dissolve. Add the syrup to the lemon juice.

Step 4

Mix the mixture thoroughly. Let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until completely cool.

Step 5

Before serving, prepare ice cubes. Place the ice in individual glasses and pour in the aromatic lemonade.
