interesting!
I am puzzled by this as I am keen on all herb teas but sorry do not know this one. Tell me more about it!
As a French speaker there seems to be a connection with cider is it made from appletree leaves?
Bye for now

: see 'lemon grass tea' above and «citron-tree» below with José Manuel's vehement and incorrect disclassification of Lemon Grass Tea which is sold in the USA and in Brasil also - I grow it and drink it also..

«citron-tree», «citronmeliss» ou mais simplesmente «melissa».
Nome Científico: Melissa officinalis L. Tradução correcta para Inglês ---> «citron-tree», «citronmeliss» ou mais simplesmente «melissa».

A erva-cidreira («Melissa officinalis», família das Lamiaceae) também é conhecida em Inglês como «Lemon balm» e não «Lemon grass» («grass» é para outro tipo de \'ervas\'...); Os termos «citron» e «lemon» aqui são enganadores, pois esta espécie nada tem a ver com os citrinos (frutos como por exemplo a cidra, o limão, a laranja, a tangerina, a lima, etc) nem com os limões (subspecies Limonum...).

A tradução «Lemon grass», escolhida como sinónimo de ERVA-CIDREIRA, está errada.
Com a designação «cidreira» existem :
1. O \"capim cidreira\" (Cymbopogan citratus), cujo equivalente em Inglês é «lemon grass». Desta planta não se faz qualquer chá, usando-se para outras coisas, nomeadamente forragem, etc.
2. A «erva-cidreira» (Melissa Officinalis ), de que se faz o dito chá medicinal, é correctamente traduzida para Inglês como «melissa», mas também se usa «citron-tree», ou ainda «citronmeliss».
É pena que quem perguntou não esteja contactável (por isso é que eu também vou seguir o conselho de cada vez mais Colegas Tradutores, de começar a deixar de responder a \"anónimos\"), pois foi introduzir no glossário do site uma equivalência rematadamente errada...

melissa/lemon blam tea/infusion
Late again but still .. it's in my garden too + it's not lemon grass ! Basically, the plant is called "Melissa" or "Lemon Balm" + the tea ("cidreira") is often translated on herb tea packets here (Portugal) as "Melissa", although I was more used to the name "Lemon Balm" in England.
Lemon grass is totally different stuff, used a lot in Thai cookery..
