The Little Herb Saver: Lemon balm is like a blanket of peace, calming a nervous stomach, reducing anxiety, elevating  a gloomy feeling, and providing relief for sleepless nights. That’s a lot, but that’s also not all.  Lemon balm is easy to grow, lovely to eat or drink as tea, powerful in its own right but not in a way that lends caution to using it. To get more lemon balm into our lives, can only be a good thing. And this is why I deem it a little herbal saver.  Thank you for joining me for this part 2 lemon balm monograph. (Episode 52 is part 1) Lemon Balm Vinaigrette: 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon dijon mustard 1 teaspoon chopped lemon balm Salt and pepper to taste Combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and dijon mustard. Whisk together until blended well. Stir in chopped lemon balm and salt and pepper.  Store in the refrigerator. Serve with fennel and radish salads.

52. Lemon Balm Monograph Part 1

Baking and herbs both calm my heart and mind. In today’s episode, I am back in my kitchen baking scones with lemon balm infused heavy cream blended into the batter. Lemon balm is a delight to grow and the fresh leaves offer a beautiful perfumey aroma that can uplift a heavy heart and offer a peaceful moment. In the kitchen, it’s medicine for the baker.  Lemon Balm Scones (if lemon balm balm is not something you have, give these a try using basil or thyme in its place) For lemon balm infused cream: approx ¾ cup (12g) fresh lemon balm leaves or ¼ cup dried lemon balm 1 cup plus ⅛ cup heavy cream In a medium saucepan, bring cream to scald over medium high heat, don’t boil, just heat until small bubbles form at edges of pan and cream begins to steam. Add chopped lemon balm leaves, stir to submerge. Remove from heat, cover with lid and steep for 25 minutes. Pour cream and lemon balm leaves into a blender and pulse to blend. Strain, reserving cream and measure 1 cup or 250g. Set aside for batter. Discard lemon balm leaves.  Ingredients: 4 cups (500g) bread flour 2 tbsp (25g) baking powder 6 tbsp (80g) unsalted butter, cut to cubes, chilled 2 large eggs ⅓ cup (80g) granulated sugar 2 tsp lemon zest 1 cup (250g) lemon balm infused heavy cream Egg wash: 1 large egg beat with a pinch of salt Instructions: Sift together flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.  Using a pastry blender or hands, blend in chilled butter until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.  In a separate medium sized bowl, mix wet ingredients with sugar. Whisk eggs, add sugar and lemon zest, whisk. Add lemon balm infused heavy cream and whisk to blend Pour wet ingredients into flour and butter mixture and gently stir together until begins to form a ball of dough. L Let rest for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a floured surface, knead gently until smooth. Press to flatten with a floured rolling pin and roll to a 1 inch high disc.  Cut scones with a 2 inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, press down and lift, do not twist. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Refrigerate scones for at least 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 425F.  Brush tops and sides of scones liberally with egg wash. Sprinkle with a bit of granulated sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Enjoy!

51. Lemon Balm Scones are Medicine for the Baker

Rounding out my broth episodes with ginger provides the perfect example of how lovely tasting herbal tea can second as herbal broth which then infuses the food we eat with an extra layer of nourishment. Ginger is a great example, because it is such a foundational culinary herb with multitudes of methods and recipes incorporating ginger both fresh and dried.. As for soup, ginger itself may be added as an ingredient, it goes especially well with chicken soup or creamy carrot soup or a garlic lemongrass broth with noodles, But it can also be layered in as the actual broth or stock base to make a sublime and aromatic soup or stew creation. Listen in while I make a pungent ginger stock and then use it in mushroom soup. I hope you will simmer along with me. *Ginger Broth* makes 3-4 cups 4 cups (1 quart) water 4 inch piece fresh ginger root, chopped 1 teaspoon peppercorns 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1 bay leaf 3 kafir lime leaf Salt to taste (optional, perhaps do not add if going to drink as tea) No need to peel the ginger because we will be staining it out.  Combine water, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, fennel seeds lemon juice and lemon zest in medium saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat, reduce to low and simmer, covered for 30-45 minutes. Strain.  To make mushroom soup - saute onions, leeks and garlic, combine 4 cups ginger stock with 3-4 cups water and simmer any mushrooms with potatoes, carrots and peas or any other vegetables you like. Season with salt and pepper. ---Deepest gratitude to Andrea Klunder, my podcast boss.  Find her at thecreativeimposter.com.

050 Kitchen Medicine Broth Series:Ginger Stock

Could chicken soup be medicinal because of the plant and herbal ingredients?. Chicken adds nourishment but I propose the healing qualities are due to onions, thyme, bay leaves and pepper.

Herbal Pantry: Cooling Herbs

Medicine from plants can’t replace pharmaceuticals, but botanical remedies can contribute to prevention and recovery from illness. In this episode, I explore building the kitchen herbal pantry to include cough remedies.  Categories and Examples of Herbs with therapeutic use for coughing Demulcents are herbs that soothe and protect mucous membranes from irritation and inflammation and thin mucus Examples are flax seed, chia seed, oats, okra, marshmallow, licorice, fenugreek, fennel, slippery elm, mullein, violet, butterfly weed Expectorants are herbs that help move excessive mucus out of the respiratory system Examples include wild cherry bark, plantain, hyssop, fenugreek, thyme, fennel, licorice, ginger, marshmallow, anise, onion, garlic, eucalyptus, pine, elecampane, lobelia, horehound Decongestants reduce and/or eliminate the formation of mucus or phlegm Examples are anise, black pepper, cayenne, ginger, fenugreek, mullein, marshmallow, licorice, horehound, sumac, wild cherry, elecampane, lobelia Astringents dry up mucus,  be careful with astringents, use only if copious mucus Examples include peppermint, spearmint, bayberry, sumach, raspberry leaf, wild cherry, cleavers, lobelia Antispasmodics relax muscles, decrease constriction and tightness, help coughing spasms Examples are Fenugreek, fennel, lavender, peppermint, lemon balm, mullein, Angelica, bayberry, red clover, elecampane and  lobelia Mentions:  American Herbalist Guild COVID19 Resource page  Respiratory System and Respiratory Immunity: Course offered by the Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism Recipe for Onion Poultice: 1-2 onions, steamed ½ cup flour or cornmeal 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar (or any vinegar except distilled white vinegar) Mix together to form paste, spread onto a cheesecloth, wrap in plastic.

Garden Visit with Nettle

Grateful to have a large bunch of fresh sage! I’m infusing some into butter to make cookies then turning the rest into a tincture. This is my first recording while baking - please let me know if you like it and want to hear more baking episodes! Sage Infused Brown Butter  2 sticks unsalted butter, sliced into chunks 4-5 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, torn into small pieces  Heat butter in small saucepan over medium heat until melted. Cook until solids begin to brown about 6 minutes. Stir in sage and cook just until begins to crisp about 30 seconds. Whisk up brown solids and immediately pour into a glass bowl. Chill in refrigerator until just firm about 30 minutes. Sage Butter and Lemon Shortbread recipe  here  2 sticks sage infused butter 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 cups flour, sifted 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Grated lemon zest from one lemon  Preheat oven to 300. Combine chilled sage butter and powdered sugar in bowl of electric mixer. Beat on medium high speed until light and creamy about 2 minutes. Add flour, salt and lemon zest, beat on low speed until just mixed through, scraping down sides. Transfer dough to a sheet of parchment paper and form into a rectangle with hands. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out to about 8 inches by 6 inches so rectangle is about a 1/2 inch thick. Remove top sheet of parchment paper. Transfer dough and bottom parchment paper to a baking sheet. Pierce all over with a fork. Bake for 55-60 minutes until golden brown, rotate baking sheet once in middle. Remove from oven and while still warm cut into 1 inch cookies. Then cool completely. Store at room temperature.
