Hey, your response made me very happy to have done this post and I am glad you found this helpful! Like you said before, some things are second nature to us, so we don't even think about posting detailed instructions for it. I never thought about posting this until you mentioned it, so thank you for the idea! Never thought other people would be searching for kombucha brewed with herbal tea like I was.
I promise you if you brew kombucha with lemon balm herbal tea, you would love it. It tastes light and lemony. You could always purchase dried lemon balm leaves from health food stores or online herbal shops even though you don't have your own lemon balm plants.
You could also use nettle leaves if you have it growing on your property. The finished brew tastes darker and more herbal in a way. Again, thanks for the inspiration for this post!
