Made with lemon balm, a mildly lemony herb from the mint family, this has a very pleasing aroma. The wafting fragrance is inviting especially on a rainy or blustery evening!
Ingredients:
- Tea leaves - 3 tsp
- Lemon balm leaves - 10-15
- Ginger - 1 inch
- Milk - 0.75 cup
- Honey (or) vegan sweetener - 3 tsp
Method:
- Grate ginger into a vessel
- Tear the lemon balm leaves into it
- Add water and bring to a boil ('Soup' mode in IP)
- Add tea leaves and boil for a minute
- Add milk and let it boil for another minute
- Strain into cups
- Add honey as prefered and serve hot
Tips and Tricks:
- Heating water in a hot water kettle expedites the process
- To cut the time needed to grate or process the flavorings, put them all in a blender jar with half a cup of hot water and pulse. (Ginger will be grated, leaves will be ripped, zest will be incorporated, etc.!) Pour it into the vessel and whisk the remaining hot water in the blender jar and use that for the tea. Clean up will be done instantly
- Lemon balm aids in calming the system as it is good in reducing stress/anxiety and inducing sleep
- Honey and lemony fragrance go very well with each other. It is preferable to use honey than any other sweetener in this combination
- Per cup of tea, use: 1 cup water; less than half a cup of milk and little more than a tsp of tea leaves
