Here is the Lemon Balm - dried and being put into some tins. I intend to make various things out of this - will post my various failures and successes.
The first thing I am going to start is this :) check back for results :
Melissa Liqueur
Home made Lemon Balm Liqueur
2 ½ tsp dried lemon balm
sliced and scraped peel of ¼ lemon
a pinch of coriander
a pinch of cinnamon
2 peppermint leaves
1 cup vodka
½ cup sugar syrup
Place all the ingredients in a bottle and steep 3 weeks. Shake the jar daily during the steeping period. Strain and filter into a dark bottle, adding more sugar to taste. Mature for 2 months.
Sugar Syrup
1 cup white granulated sugar and ½ cup water
Bring to a boil, and stir until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear. Always cool before adding to alcohol mixture.

I need to be careful in saying how hard and viciously this day ripped me
away. Don't want to tread on any toes. Hearts. My heart beats and then
beats me ...
