una hermosa ramita de Toronjil en mi mano / a beautiful sprig of Lemon Balm in my hand
Toronjil (Lemon Balm)
Esta simpática planta que parece ornamental con un agradable olor muy parecido al Limón, llego no hace mucho a mi hogar de manos de una vecina, así que decidí sembrarlo en mi jardín, junto con otras plantas medicinales que allí tengo, (luego les traeré otro articulo con mis otras plantas)
This nice plant that seems to be ornamental with a pleasant smell very similar to the Lemon, arrived not long ago to my home from a neighbor, so I decided to plant it in my garden, along with other medicinal plants that I have there, (then I will bring another article with my other plants)
mi toronjil cambiando de negra a verde / my lemon balm changing from black to green
A los 3 días de plantarlas, estas se pusieron totalmente negras, sinceramente pensé que se habían muerto, sin embargo, no tuve tiempo de sacarlas ese día, y al día siguiente empezaron las lluvias asi que salir a sacarlas tampoco era una prioridad.
Sin embargo, luego de una semana de continuas lluvias, todo mi patio creció alarmantemente, pero felizmente al revisar mis plantas de Toronjil, en su base se estaban tornando verdes.
After 3 days of planting, they turned totally black, I honestly thought they had died, however, I didn't have time to take them out that day, and the next day the rains started so going out to take them out wasn't a priority either.
However, after a week of continuous rains, my whole yard grew alarmingly, but happily when I checked my Lemon Balm plants, at their base they were turning green.

¿Como prepararlo?
Yo segui las indicaciones de mi vecina, y es de la siguiente manera:
3 hojitas de toronjil, por cada taza de agua hirviendo, lo puedes endulzar con azucar o miel al gusto, incluso hay personas que le colocan leche.
Otra manera de hacerlo es colocando unas cuantas ramitas en un litro de agua, el jugo de un limon y azucar al gusto, y dejar en la nevera por espacio de un dia, y tomar para refrescarte durante dias calurosos, estando este bien frio
How to prepare it?
I followed my neighbor's directions, and it's like this:
3 leaves of lemon balm, for each cup of boiling water, you can sweeten it with sugar or honey to taste, there are even people who put milk in it.
Another way to do this is to put a few sprigs in a liter of water, the juice of a lemon and sugar to taste, and leave in the refrigerator for a day, and take to cool down during hot days, being this very cold.
Con la llegada de las lluvias, pronto tendré arbustos frondosos de esta maravillosa planta / With the arrival of the rains, I will soon have leafy shrubs of this wonderful plant

Lemon balm is SUCH an ancient natural medicine - perhaps, made most famous of all by the nuns in the cloister in Koln in Germany - Melissengheist - Spirit of Melissa. 😍
