A member of the mint family, lemon balm is an aromatic green herb that lends a distinctive yet gentle lemon flavor, reminiscent of light citronella. Lemon balm has been used historically in herbal medicine to calm the digestive system and has been under study in recent times for providing positive, calming, anti-anxiety psychological effects. Ideal for use in desserts and tea blends (especially iced!)
