Lemon Balm Tea

Makes 1/4 cup tea blend, enough for 4 cups of tea
2 tablespoons dried lemon balm
1 tablespoon dried oatstraw 
2 teaspoons dried, seedless rosehips 
1 1/2 teaspoons dried orange peel
1/2 teaspoon dried lavender
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container
To make tea: For 1 cup of tea, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 rounded tablespoon of the tea blend. Cover and steep for 20 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey, if desired.
You could also infuse all 4 cups at once (a quart mason jar works well) and sip it throughout the day.
