Fresh lemon balm is best used immediately for optimal flavor. To store, wrap the leaves in a slightly damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag or airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help keep them fresh for up to a week. You can also dry lemon balm by hanging sprigs upside down in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area. Once dried, store the leaves in an airtight container away from light and heat. Dried lemon balm will retain its flavor for several months. For longer storage, lemon balm can be frozen. Chop the leaves and place them in ice cube trays with water or oil. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag.
