The boys and I happened on a great gardening store with many little seedlings and herbs just outside of Cheonan a few weeks ago. I was delighted to find lemon balm and bought 2 little pots of it. Here’s a fun way to use lemon balm and have our little people learn about a herb along the way.
Ingredients:
2 loosely packed cups of chopped fresh lemon balm leaves
OR
4 Tablespoons of dried lemon balm leaves
Hot water
Honey
Half gallon jar (or other container)
Popsicle molds
Directions:
1. Add the fresh (or dried) lemon balm to a half gallon mason jar.
2. Fill this with just-boiled water and let steep for 20 minutes.
3. Strain off the leaves and add honey to taste.
4. These can be poured into popsicle molds, or paper cups with popsicle sticks or even ice cube trays.
5. Freeze for a few hours and enjoy!
