For Such a Time as This, part 11, Find More Uses

During my daily morning garden walk I noticed that the lemon balm needed harvesting.  I pulled out my garden clippers (similiar to these) that I keep in my gardening apron and set to work.  While enjoying the fragrance that comes as the result of working with lemon balm, I began thinking about what I could use it for other than in teas and herbal remedies.  Were there other uses for my prolific pot of lemon balm?

Once inside, I started researching and found other ways I could use this lemon scented herb other than in teas and herbal remedies.  Here are a few I found …

As an ingredient in making butter spreads

As an ingredient in cookies

As an ingredient in bath and or shower salts and scrubs

As an ingredient in potpourri

As an ingredient in seasoning blends

These are just some of the ways my research led me to, but the number of ways to use lemon balm is not really the point of this post.  The point of this post is to encourage us to expand our knowledge of ways to use what we have.

For such a time as this, we need to find more uses for what we have on hand.  Lemon balm is my example, can you give one?  What have you learned to find more uses for?

If you find this series helpful, please share it with others.  If we all do what we can to help each other whether it be through writing, sharing, teaching, coming along beside each other or any other means, the world will be a better place!

Until the next post,
