Lemon balm

Our new house has lemon balm in the garden.  It smells delicious, and I know it's edible, but what to do with it?  Any ideas?

The first thing you must do is be careful or it'll take over the whole garden!

My favourite thing to do with it is make tea. Just pick a big handful of leaves and steep them. It's heavenly. You can also add a bit of mint if you've got some of that growing. It's a lovely combination.

It's also really good on fish. Just tear up a few leaves and scatter them on top.

Ooh, I just found a recipe for lemon balm mojitos!  Mmmm.  Although mine will have to be a virgin one, I guess. 

i was growing some in a pot at my old house... never thought of making tea with it!

Rosemary is lovely added to it as well!

It would probably make very nice iced tea, too! (I prefer mine hot)
