Daphnis and Chloe – Our Lemon Verbena

Lemon Verbena, whole leaves locally sourced in Greece, 10 g (0.35 oz).

“Our whole-leaf Verbena selection has a vibrant green color and a full-bodied lemony flavor. We source this particular Verbena from an organic farm on the faraway island of Samos where it’s dried naturally at the beginning of summer. From harvesting to packing, everything is done by hand, making sure to handle Verbena’s delicate and sensitive leaves with care.

Some of our favorite ways to use Lemon Verbena is to make a comforting herbal tea. Brew a teaspoon for 5 minutes at 95°C and cover. Strain and serve. It’s also ideal for making herb-infused water. Just follow the steps above, then let the infusion come to room temperature. On hot summer days, Lemon Verbena iced tea can be a delightfully refreshing thirst quencher. Consume these within 24 hours. Verbena is very well suited for experiments due to its combinable, lemony flavor. Grind the leaves and use in sponge cakes or homemade pasta. It makes a unique substitute for lemon or mint in poultry and stuffing recipes.”
