Just harvested a load of lemon balm but not sure what to do with it. Google suggests drying the leaves and using for flavourings in cakes and lemon tea. Can any of you recommend what to do with it and how to dry such a large amount of it! Many thanks 🌿

Not sure if it’s similar to lavender, but could you dry it and put it in little pouches for scent??
It’s nice in fruit salads, as well as standard salads. Really nice with fish. Boil a load up and use the water as an insect repellent. Extract the oils with alcohol and make an essential oil to put round doors and windows etc to repel creepy crawlies and flies.
Makes a lovely sorbet
