Categories: Cocktails, Tea
     Yield: 6 Servings

     1 c  Cane sugar
     1 c  Water
     1 c  Fresh lemon balm leaves;
          - washed and dried

 Preparation time: 5 minutes
 Cooking time: 10 minutes

 With just enough sweetness and that beloved lemony flavor, this
 homemade lemon balm syrup is a delicious way to cool down and unwind
 on a hot day! It's the secret to the best lemon balm sodas, iced
 teas, and lemonade, and will be a go-to all summer long! This version
 relies on fresh lemon balm, so give your plant a good pruning and
 enjoy

 Rinse and dry the lemon balm leaves. Remove the leaves from the stem.

 Add all of the ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over
 medium-high heat.

 Once the sugar crystals dissolve, remove the pan from the heat and
 let the leaves steep for 30 minutes to an hour for a stronger lemon
 balm flavor.

 Add the funnel and strainer to a glass jar and pour liquid through the
 strainer to sieve the leaves out of the hot syrup.

 Use the lemon balm simple syrup as desired or store the leftover
 syrup in the fridge for up to 1 week.
