Lemon balm is my newest herb addiction!
Have you tried it?
Oh, my...
when you rub the leaves it smells like lemon!
I'm in love...
It is quite attractive also - the delicate looking leaves make quite an impression on top of an old milk can.
I read that it will help repel insects.
But I wanted to do something with it...
something other than rubbing the leaves on my arms ;-)
Lemon water is something I drink often.
Ice, sliced lemon, and water.
Delicious and good for you.
But now?
Now I add a few lemon balm leaves (after I rub them of course) to the lemon water.
Oh how I am crushing on lemon balm...
I hope you are having a lemontastic day!
I knew you were a kindred spirit---I have a small cabinet that exactly matches your cabinet behind your chair! I love the idea of lemon balm in your drink and it is such a "friendly" insect repellant.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet comment Vikki...thank you! I have my Great Grandma's dishes in that cabinet ;-)
DeleteIt looks a lot like mint! Good to know about the insect repelling properties. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to get myself a lemon balm plant. I recently bought some lemon balm tea which is so nice as an evening drink. Thank you for sharing another great idea! Pat xx
ReplyDeleteI love that smell of lemon too -I didn't know about the repelling insects part. I have lemon grass growing this year. I have used it to scent the water for washing my floor. Wonderful smell throughout the house! So many uses I need to look up for these herbs!
