I am drinking Lemon Lavender Lane tea by Celestial Seasonings. One of the ingredients in it is lemon balm.
Lemon balm is good for what ails you in many ways. It is effective against cold sores. I have some stress sores in my mouth this week. I need to drink lemon balm tea.
On the other hand, my "Mediterranean" infused oil is delicious. It is olive oil that has been infused with parsley, sage, rosemary, oregano and thyme.
I love to microwave a potato and top it with a spoonful of this oil instead of butter.
Hope you are relaxing as well.

I drink green tea in the mornings with a teaspoon each of fresh lemon juice and honey.

Some people would brew this in with their tea instead of lemon juice. I like lemon juice and honey if I sweeten my tea.

You can infuse your favorite herbs and it makes a wonderful addition to many dishes.

It is a relative of mint and is perennial. It is soothing, anti fungal, anti bacterial, anti viral. It will take over your whole garden if you let it. It also attracts pollinators to your other plants.

You may have something similar in another brand. It is soothing, that is for sure.

Nope, nothing like that one just yet.
I suppose I would have to go to really big Shops in the Morea to see if they have any.
Hope you feel better now.

Yes, it does. I have some as well and I need to harvest it. I like it in tea and in cooking.

It is a distant mint family. Also is called Melissa in some places. Very good by itself or added to regular tea.

Mostly I do not sweeten even my hot tea, but if I do, honey is my choice.

@GardenGerty I grew up using local honey and it has become my favorite part.
