Ingredients

1 cupDried lemon balm leaf
2 cupsVodka (80 proof or higher)
1Pint-size mason jar with lid
1Amber dropper bottle for storage

Instructions

Fill the jar

Loosely fill the mason jar ⅔ full with dried lemon balm. Don't pack it down — the leaves need room to circulate.

Cover with vodka

Pour vodka over the leaves until fully covered with 2 inches of liquid on top. Seal tightly.

Steep

Store in a dark cabinet for 4-6 weeks, shaking every few days. The liquid will become a soft golden-green.

Strain and use

Strain through cheesecloth into a dropper bottle. Take ½ to 1 dropperful as needed for stress, or 30 minutes before bed for sleep.
