Sweet Melissa Lemon Balm Bread image

I have a lot of Lemon Balm growing up in my herb garden so when I ran across this a Lemon Balm Bread recipe in a Gooseberry Patch Christmas book I decided to try it. I renamed it Sweet Melissa Lemon Balm Bread. Melissa is the Latin name for Lemon Balm. This bread is VERY moist.

This is the best lemon balm bread I've ever had! It's so moist and flavorful, and the lemon balm glaze is the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I had some trouble finding lemon balm, but I eventually found it at a local farmers market. The bread turned out great and the lemon balm flavor was really nice. I would definitely make this again.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it was good. I think next time I'll try using less sugar.
