Hope everyone has a great & productive week, but even more so I hope this week pases quickly. Lol
Anyhoo, since my lemon balm needed a haircut I decided to find a new use than what I’ve been using it for (baking/cooking). I found a recipe for Lemon Balm tincture to be used in glass medicinal bottles with droppers. There’s a lot of forgiveness with this recipe so don’t get caught up with the exact amounts.
Basically fill a clean sterilized mason jar with enough lemon balm to tightly fit container. Lightly muddle then add 80 - 100 proof vodka. Store in a dark cool area and shake every few days. Let the tincture infuse for 4 to 6 weeks. Some folk like to “refresh” lemon balm leaves around the half way mark to get a stronger herbal flavor. I might do that ....
Anyhoo here’s the recipe (in link) and the benefits/uses of this tincture.
Enjoy!
