Lemon Verbena-1- 4inch pot
The leaves of lemon verbena offer a strong, sweet lemon flavor, which can be used in place of lemon zest in many recipes.
Teas and Beverages: Steep fresh or dried leaves in hot water for a refreshing, caffeine-free herbal tea (also called "Luisa" or "te de cedron"). The leaves can also flavor cold drinks like lemonade, seltzers, and cocktails.
Desserts: Infuse leaves into milk, butter, or syrups to flavor ice cream, sorbets, custards, jams, and other baked goods like cookies and quick breads.
Savory Dishes: Use the leaves to season poultry, fish, marinades, salad dressings, and vinaigrettes. The leaves can be added whole to a dish and removed before serving, similar to a bay leaf, or very finely minced.
