Description
Lemon Balm is an herb closely related to peppermint. Unlike mint, it has a lovely lemony flavor and aroma. The latin name (Melissa officinalis) harkens back to ancient Greece, where the Lemon Balm plant attracted many honeybees. Melissa is the Greek word for honeybee. It has been traditionally used as a tea to aid in relaxation, due to its calming smell and taste, it also blends well with other soothing herbs like chamomile and peppermint..
