Ingredients
- some lemon balm stalks and leaves (cut right above a leaf division so the plant makes more)
- some mint stalks and leaves (ditto above)
- some blackcurrant leaves (rub leaves and smell them to find the most fragrant berry bush)
- water
- sugar/honey to taste
Apparently this is an old traditional Swabian recipe from the part of Germany that my mom is from.
- Put in pot.
- Bring to boil.
- Reduce heat, simmer for a while until robust.
- Pour out liquid into pot/jug.
- Mix with sugar or honey if you like.

We just harvested our blackcurrants. Didn't know the leaves can be used as well. Good to know.
