Bag of Lemon Verbena

60g / 2.17oz

Our whole-leaf Verbena has a vibrant green color and a full-bodied citrusy flavor. We source our selection from a lovely family of herb farmers in Crete, where all plants are dried naturally and destemmed by hand at the beginning of summer when Verbena is at its peak. From planting to packing, everything is done with great care, and it’s impossible not to notice the qualitative superiority of these incredibly fragrant leaves!

Description


Although Verbena arrived in Europe only in the 17th century, it quickly established itself and found a second home throughout the Eastern Aegean islands and North Crete. The region’s climate beautifully suited the plant, which quickly became a garden staple. 

The most popular use of Lemon Verbena is for the preparation of herbal infusions. You’ll need 1 tsp (around 0.3g) for every 250 ml cup. Brew for 4-5 minutes at 95°C, covered. Strain and serve. It’s ideal for herb-infused water: Just brew an herbal infusion following the steps above, then strain and let it come to room temperature. On those hot summer days, Lemon Verbena iced tea can be a delightfully refreshing thirst quencher. 

Verbena is also well suited for experiments due to its combinable, citrusy flavor. Crush a few leaves and use them in sponge cakes or homemade pasta. It makes a unique substitute for lemon or mint in stuffing recipes.
