Ingredients
- 3 lemon verbena leaves
- 4 cups water
- 4 tsp. honey optional, or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Place the 3 lemon verbena leaves in the 4 cups of water.
- Boil for 15 minutes.
- Serve hot or iced with a teaspoon of honey in each glass for sweetness.
Notes
- Adjusting the Flavor
- Our recipe makes a very delicately flavored tea. Chopping the leaves before boiling releases more flavor if you prefer a stronger tea.
- Preparing Iced Tea
- Double or triple the quantity of leaves if you are preparing iced lemon verbena tea.
- Sweetener Options
- You can use agave nectar, stevia or sugar to sweeten your tea instead of honey. It is also delicious unsweetened.
- Plant Names
- Lemon verbena is also known as lemon beebush. In Mexico, it is called cedrón.
