I was just thinking that I need to dehydrate my lemon balm. I make it as tea every day .
You should do this – if it is not too humid up there right now, you can just hang bundles around the kitchen – or use the 95 degree setting on your dehydrator! Hope you like the mixed surprise box headed your way 😀
