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.
