In the kitchen, lemon balm leaves are particularly valued in the making of infusions and teas because of their fresh and mild flavor, which is often described as soothing. They are also used in preparing sauces, salads, and desserts such as ice creams or sorbets, adding a refreshing touch. In Mediterranean dishes, lemon balm leaves are incorporated into marinades or dressings for white meats and fish. An interesting fact is that lemon balm is easy to grow in gardens, even in pots, and attracts bees, making it a great plant for pollination in home gardens.
