Lemon balm has such an amazing fragrance that you won’t lack creative uses for the herb. Its tasty as a way to flavour summer cool drinks, makes a soothing and relaxing herb tea for colds and flu, smells divine in potpourri sachets, and adds a twist of lemon flavour to desserts and bakes. A relative of mint, it grows just as easily, and since it’s a perennial, you’ll be enjoying your plants for years.
