Cómo preparar Old Fashioned Lemon Balm Lemonade
- Scrub 3 large lemons thoroughly under cold water.
- Using a vegetable peeler, thinly peel the rind from the lemons, avoiding the white pith. Set the peeled lemons aside.
- In a small, heat-proof pitcher, combine the lemon zest, 1 cup packed fresh lemon balm leaves, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the mixture. Stir well, gently crushing the lemon balm leaves to release their flavor.
- Allow the mixture to steep and infuse for 15 minutes.
- While the syrup infuses, cut the 3 lemons in half and juice them.
- Strain the lemon balm syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher. Add a few fresh sprigs of lemon balm for garnish.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher.
- Top with water (or a mix of water and ice) to your desired dilution and sweetness.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the lemonade to chill thoroughly before serving.
