Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 My nieghbor grows it, I dry and use it tea and recipes. It's related to the mint family but you wouldn't know it. Has a very good lemony flavor yet it's bold enough to stand out in a recipe.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks to everyone who has described lemon balm to me. After hearing the description I remembered reading about it a few years ago. I haven't tried to grow any herbs in a very long time. When our town got a Wal Mart supercenter they began selling fresh herbs. Our town also has an ever growing Hispanic population so we also have access to spices that are commonly used in Mexico. Our Supercenter has dried chammomile flowers in the Hispanic section of spices & I'm wondering if they make tea with the flowers. I'm hoping to find a small bit of cardamon in that section of the store so I can try it. In the regular section of the spices it cost about $10.00 for a bottle.
