I have a lot of Lemon Balm growing up in my herb garden so when I ran across this a Lemon Balm Bread recipe in a Gooseberry Patch Christmas book I decided to try it. I renamed it Sweet Melissa Lemon Balm Bread. Melissa is the Latin name for Lemon Balm. This bread is VERY moist.

Tips:

Use fresh herbs: Fresh mint and lemon balm leaves are best for this tea. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but the flavor will be less intense.
Don't boil the water: Boiling water will destroy the delicate flavors of the herbs. Instead, heat the water to just below boiling (about 195 degrees Fahrenheit or 90 degrees Celsius).
Steep the tea for 5-10 minutes: The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the flavor will be. Experiment with different steeping times to find your preferred strength.
Serve the tea hot or cold: This tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. If you're serving it cold, you can add a few ice cubes or refrigerate it for a few hours.
Add honey or sugar to taste: If you like your tea sweet, you can add honey or sugar to taste. You can also add a slice of lemon or orange for extra flavor.
