Lemon balm is one of my favorite things to add to fresh mint tea. The lemon scent and flavor can be INTENSE for something that isn't a lemon lol.

We had some growing near my front gate in my childhood home and I would frequently rub a leaf and smell it on my way out of the house in the morning. When my mother moved I tried to take a cutting but it ended up dying. Its such a nostalgic and amazing smell to me but never tried it as a tea before.
Wouldn’t call one of the most common herbs found in gardens underrated.
Isn't this just melissa? A very common herb and sold as bagged tea in every grocery store around here.
Just don't let them go to seed
