Thank goodness I got the sugar on sale or they would be bankrupting us. My neighbor in the closest house to us used to have feeders up. Since they have moved, I think all of them are coming to my house.<br />Jeannie@GetMeToTheCountryJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-34884575411396365762019-08-27T12:16:37.440-04:002019-08-27T12:16:37.440-04:00Hi Christine.

I made a half gallon at a time, and used it chilled this summer, and used a large handful for that. After steeping, I just strained it through a sieve. I'm not sure per cup of tea, but I would err on the side of more, as you can always add water to dilute it, but can't do much if it's not strong enough. You could use a tea ball or a sieve, or tea bag. I've not tried the tea bags. Enjoy your tea!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-69885721169787826042019-08-27T11:37:53.023-04:002019-08-27T11:37:53.023-04:00I have lemon balm for the first time this year.
