How to Brew: Perfect Temperature & Steeping Time
Add 4-5 tablespoons (14-18g) of dried lemon balm leaves per liter of water to a glass or porcelain teapot to preserve the delicate flavor compounds.
Heat filtered water to approximately 176°F (80°C), just below boiling, to protect the volatile oils and prevent bitterness. Pour the heated water over the leaves, then cover the vessel to trap the aromatic steam and therapeutic compounds.
Steep for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even extraction. Longer steeping times create a stronger, more medicinal brew, while shorter infusions offer lighter, more delicate flavor.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or tea strainer to remove all plant material. The resulting infusion should be pale golden-green with a gentle lemony aroma.
Serving suggestions: Enjoy 3 cups daily, particularly effective when consumed 30-60 minutes before bedtime for sleep support, or after meals for digestive comfort. Can be enjoyed warm or cooled and served over ice for a refreshing summer variation.
For enhanced calming effects, combine with chamomile or passionflower. A touch of honey complements the natural sweetness beautifully.

Sleep Support & Digestive Comfort
Lemon balm tea provides natural support for those seeking calm and restful sleep.
The herb's gentle compounds work to reduce nervous tension, agitation, and irritability, creating the mental and physical relaxation necessary for falling asleep more easily.

Key wellness benefits include:
- Promotes relaxation and reduces nervous system tension

The bioactive compounds in lemon balm, particularly rosmarinic acid, interact with neurotransmitter pathways to create naturally soothing effects on both mind and body. This dual action on nervous system and digestive tract makes it valuable for stress-related discomfort.
For enhanced digestive support, this tea can be combined with complementary herbs like peppermint or fennel.
Perfect for creating an evening wind-down ritual or enjoying after meals for gentle digestive ease.
Ancient European Healing Tradition
Lemon balm holds a distinguished place in European herbal medicine, treasured since ancient times for its uplifting and calming properties.
Ancient Greeks and Romans cultivated this aromatic herb, believing it could lift spirits and soothe anxious minds. Greek physicians praised its ability to "make the heart merry" and promote tranquility.
Medieval European monasteries preserved and expanded knowledge of lemon balm's therapeutic uses. Carmelite monks famously created "Eau de Mélisse" in the 17th century, a calming elixir that became renowned throughout Europe and is still referenced in herbal traditions today.
Historical texts document its use for "melancholy," sleep disturbances, and digestive complaints. The herb was often planted near doorways and in monastery gardens, symbolizing protection, emotional healing, and spiritual peace.
French herbalists particularly valued lemon balm's gentle yet effective nature, incorporating it into household remedies passed down through generations. Its subtle citrus fragrance and mild flavor made it a preferred everyday tonic in European apothecaries and homes for centuries.
