I love the melissa that grows in the back yard. There is so much of it, it's so lush and green, it draws so many honeybees and wasps! The name Melissa is derived from a Greek word meaning bee, owing to the abundance of nectar in the flowers which attracts bees.
But seriously I do like it. It makes the yard smell like lemons. I pick a handful of it and toss it in a green salad or put some in my smoothie or make lemonade out of it like I did today.
1 handful melissa leaves
juice and pulp of one lemon
4 ice cubes, or more
5-7 dates
16 oz water
Blend and strain. Serve over ice.
