Weigh the juice, then combine it with an equal amount of sugar and the lemon balm in a non-aluminum saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil it for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, skim any foam from the top, and let cool. Discard the lemon balm before bottling. Store in the refrigerator.
This recipe yields 1 to 2 half-pints.
