1. Give the 2 pyramid bags of lemon balm seven minutes under a saucer in 200ml of just boiled water, then remove them.
2. Chill the lemon balm fully, in cold water or the fridge.
3. Ice a tall glass and pour the cold lemon balm over it.
4. Lengthen with the cold water, easing it in down the back of a spoon.
5. Add the lemon wheel and a sprig of lemon balm or mint, gently bruised to release the scent.
6. Tip: if you grow lemon balm, steep a small handful of fresh leaves with the bags for extra fragrance.
