Directions:
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Add the lemon verbena leaves and cover the pan. Steep for 15 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer, discard the leaves, and let cool. Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Cherry Verbena Soda For one drink, fill a tall glass with ice. Add 1 tablespoon of the Lemon Verbena Syrup, 2 tablespoons of Sour Cherry Syrup , and a few dashes of acid phosphate or lemon juice or citric acid solution. Top with seltzer and mix gently. Garnish with lemon verbena leaves and maraschino cherries, if desired.
- Tell Me About Lemon Verbena Sometimes called The Queen of the Lemon-Scented Herbs, lemon verbena was a favorite ingredient in perfumes in late 1700s Europe, and it had a moment of fame in Gone with the Wind, as it was Scarlett's mother's favorite plant. The leaves of lemon verbena are great in cooking, as they impart a lemony fragrance and flavor to dishes ranging from broiled fish, to salad dressings, to light desserts. As a beverage, it is used to make herbal tea and is often added to black tea in place of lemon.
