Bring water to a boil and Place bee balm in the teapot—about 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried bee balm or a few fresh sprigs per cup of water. You can use either fresh or dried bee balm depending on what you have on hand.

Pour the hot water over the bee balm and let it steep for 7 to 10 minutes.

Strain the tea into your cup.

Add honey to taste, if desired. Sip and enjoy while it’s warm.
