Lemonade With Lemon balm recipe

My Great Aunt used to make the most wonderful homemade lemonade which included lemon balm.
As far as I can remember you infused the lemon-balm with the lemon rind and sugar in boiling water. Once cooled you added the lemon juice and more water.
However I can't remember the proportions and despite endless internet searching can't find a recipe online.
Does anyone have a recipe they'd share please?
Thank you

I'm not really going to be much help I'm afraid but just wanted to say this sounds delicious. I have tonnes of lemon balm growing in my garden. I made some tea with it the other day which was nice. The only thing I could think of would be to find a recipe for normal lemonade and then replace the water infused tea made from the lemon balm. Probably what you already had in mind.
I'm going to make some today and I'll let you know how I get on.0 -

How did you get on? I tweaked the recipe that I linked above. I used half the lemons but double the lemon balm and the result was delicious. It tastes like my absolute favourite lipton lemon iced tea. It's definitely more iced tea then lemonade but I prefer it.0
