The leaves of so many wonderful plants are packed with flavor, nutrients, and other good-for-you constituents and the combinations are seemingly endless. Lately, I've been on a bit of a [Lemongrass](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/lemongrass/profile) kick, adding the [essential oil ](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/lemongrass-essential-oil/profile)to my [AromaMist diffuser](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/aromamist-ultrasonic-diffuser/profile) for a fresh scent, and tossing the organic leaves into my cups of tea. This recipe is as aromatic as it is tasty, so make up a cup and enjoy your "greens"...   [![How to Use 8 Pesky Weeds](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/lemonbalm1-1.jpg?width=594&height=396&name=lemonbalm1-1.jpg)](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/lemonbalm1-1.jpg?hsLang=en-us)  ## Luscious Leaf Tea with Lemongrass - 1 teaspoon organic [ Alfalfa Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/alfalfa-leaf/profile) - 1 teaspoon organic [Blackberry Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/blackberry-leaf/profile) - 1 teaspoon organic [Lemongrass](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/lemongrass/profile) - 1 teaspoon organic [Hawthorn Leaf & Flower](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/hawthorn-leaf-slash-flower/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic [Spearmint Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/spearmint/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic [Lemon Balm](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/lemon-balm/profile) - pinch of organic [Stevia Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/stevia-leaf/profile), optional Combine herbs in a [nest, infuser, strainer, or bag](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/catalog/teas/accessories) and pour 1 1/2 to 2 cups boiling water over and allow to steep for 4-5 minutes. This blend will not get bitter if you allow it to steep longer and it makes a delicious iced tea as well. Add a wedge of lemon or orange if you would like a little fruity garnish. I like a little sprig of fresh spearmint or peppermint for fun.
