Mix 3 tbsp basil seeds with 100 ml water and leave to soak for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Rinse the lemon balm and pluck half of the leaves from the stalks and chop roughly. Boil the remaining water and pour it over the chopped lemon balm. Sweeten with sugar or honey as desired and then allow to cool enough so that the tea can brew well in the fridge. Stir in the lemon juice and basil seeds before serving.
Put some ice cubes in a carafe, pour in the tea and garnish with the lemon slices and the remaining lemon balm leaves.
