How do you make lemon balm tea? I have a bunch of lemon balm but don't do anything with it.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Lemon Balm, Chopped
1/2 Gallon Water, Boiled
32 - 40 Ice Cubes
________________________
1. Place the chopped lemon balm in a container large enough to hold ½ gallon of water. (I used a large ceramic mixing bowl.)
Boil ½ gallon of water.
2. Pour the boiled water over the lemon balm and cover with a lid. (I used a large dinner plate to cover the bowl.)
Let this mixture steep for at least two hours.
3. Strain steeped lemon balm through a colander and pour into ½ gallon container with a pour spout.
4. Add 4 to 5 ice cubes to each 8 oz. glass.
5. Pour steeped and strained tea into each glass.
Serve.
__________________________
For additional flavor, add a sprig of mint to the tea mixture during the steeping process.
My beefsteak tomatoes have blossom end rot. It looks like its a calcium/water issue?
Halp.
Blossom-end rot: You know you have this problem when the top of the fruit suddenly collapses and rots. The problem, however, starts with the soil. Either it doesn’t have enough calcium, or it got alternately wet and dry. Add crushed eggshells to the soil, use a commercial Rot Stop spray, and keep the soil moisture constant by using mulch, a soaker hose, or both.
