Notes
For the best flavor and benefits, use fresh lemon balm leaves whenever possible, as they offer a more vibrant and aromatic taste compared to dried leaves. However, if fresh leaves are unavailable, dried lemon balm works well just adjust the quantity accordingly (about 1 tablespoon of dried leaves per cup of water). To enhance the tea’s weight loss benefits, consider adding a slice of ginger, which can help boost metabolism and aid digestion. If you prefer a naturally sweet taste, opt for raw honey or stevia, but avoid refined sugar, as it can counteract the tea’s detoxifying effects.
Steeping time is crucial let the tea infuse for at least 10 minutes to extract its full medicinal properties, but avoid oversteeping, as it can result in a slightly bitter taste. For best results, drink this tea warm, preferably 30 minutes before meals to support digestion and metabolism. This tea is also a great bedtime drink, as lemon balm has calming properties that promote better sleep, which is essential for healthy weight management.
