"clear" aquí significa literalmente transparente, o claro. pregunté a mi esposa que sería una palabra que suena más apropiada en el contexto, y sugirió cristalino, o posiblemente ligero

neutral  M. C. Filgueira: "Clear" significa en este caso "límpido". Ahora bien, yo diría simplemente "infusión de toronjil/melisa"; "clear/límpido" me parece en este caso redundante, puesto que las infusiones son límpidas, salvo si se hacen con agua turbia. Saludos cordiales.
