Quote from: wikipedia
Citral is present in the oils of several plants, including lemon myrtle (90-98%), Listsea citrata (90%), Litsea cubeba (70-85%), lemongrass (65-85%), lemon tea-tree (70-80%), Ocimum gratissimum (66.5%), Lindera citriodora (approx. 65%), Calypranthes parriculata (approx. 62%), petitgrain (36%), Lemon verbena (30-35%), Lemon ironbark (26%), lemon balm (11%), lime (6-9%), lemon (2-5%), and orange.[4] [5] [6]
FYI: I'm betting it's best to make the tea just before use and use the herbs as fresh as possible. From a chemical perspective I'd expect citral to air oxidize relatively quickly.
