Frequently Asked Questions About Unsweetened lemon balm tea
What is unsweetened lemon balm tea good for?
Unsweetened lemon balm tea may help you feel more relaxed. Research on lemon balm suggests possible benefits for mild stress and restlessness, but the tea is not a treatment for a medical condition and its effects can vary.
Does unsweetened lemon balm tea help you sleep?
Unsweetened lemon balm tea may promote relaxation and make some people feel sleepy. Having it in the evening may suit a bedtime routine, but it is not a proven treatment for insomnia and will not affect everyone the same way.
Does unsweetened lemon balm tea have caffeine?
No, unsweetened lemon balm tea is naturally caffeine-free. It does not have the stimulating effect of coffee or black tea, although the herb itself may make some people feel relaxed or drowsy.
How do you make unsweetened lemon balm tea?
Steep lemon balm leaves in hot water, then strain the tea and drink it without adding sugar. Avoid boiling the leaves for a long time, which can make the flavor bitter; dried leaves or fresh lemon balm can both be used.
What does unsweetened lemon balm tea taste like?
Unsweetened lemon balm tea has a mild, herbal taste with light citrus notes. It is not as sharply sour as lemon juice, and leaving out sugar lets the plant’s naturally fragrant flavor come through.
Can you drink unsweetened lemon balm tea every day?
Most healthy adults can drink unsweetened lemon balm tea daily. There is no established daily amount that applies to everyone, so pay attention to how it affects you, particularly if it makes you drowsy or unsettles your stomach.
Can you drink unsweetened lemon balm tea cold?
Yes, unsweetened lemon balm tea can be served cold. Brew it hot and let it cool before refrigerating, or pour it over ice; a lemon slice adds flavor without adding sugar.
Is fresh or dried lemon balm better for unsweetened lemon balm tea?
Both fresh and dried lemon balm work for unsweetened lemon balm tea. Fresh leaves give a lighter, greener flavor, while dried leaves are more concentrated; adjust the amount to taste rather than boiling either form.
Does unsweetened lemon balm tea have side effects?
Yes, unsweetened lemon balm tea can cause drowsiness, dizziness, or stomach discomfort in some people. If you notice an unwanted effect, stop drinking it; avoid testing its effects for the first time before driving or other tasks requiring alertness.
Is unsweetened lemon balm tea safe during pregnancy?
The safety of unsweetened lemon balm tea during pregnancy has not been adequately studied. Ask your doctor or midwife before drinking it regularly; being a herbal tea does not automatically make it safe during pregnancy.

What is Unsweetened lemon balm tea?
Unsweetened lemon balm tea is an infusion made by steeping fresh or dried leaves of lemon balm, a fragrant herb native to parts of the Mediterranean and western Asia. It is not made from the leaves of the tea plant, and this version has no added sugar or sweetener; the leaves are usually strained out before serving.
Its flavour is gentle and herbal, with a light lemon-like aroma. It is commonly enjoyed hot, either on its own or alongside a small snack, and can also be served chilled. With just 1 calorie per 100 g, it is a very light drink. A slice of lemon complements its aroma, while leaving it plain keeps the delicate flavour in focus.
