Not only are they delicious and cooling they are also soothing and calming. With all the excitement and activity of summer, some lemon balm can help bring the kids’ energy down a bit and allow them to settle into a quiet afternoon activity. To make them, simply cut some fresh lemonbalm. NOTE: You can also use 4 tablespoons of dried lemon balm, but of course it's never QUITE as good as fresh, :) Link to get bulk herbs...
I cut up enough for two loosely packed cups of plant material and added it to a half-gallon jar.
Then simply fill the jar with boiling water, and let it steep for about 20 minutes. (The knife absorbs the heat to prevent the glass from cracking...just a little trick, but not always needed with these types of jars) If using dried lemon balm, let it steep the same amount of time.
Strain and add honey to taste. I added about 2 tablespoons.
Pour into popsicle molds or simply into ice cube trays.
Freeze for a few hours and enjoy!
