Lemon Verbena - My Favorite Spring Ingredient
Post Author: Jenny McCoy
Lemon Verbena, is a fantastic herb, that has a very sharp lemony flavor that is balanced with a delicate, floral and green, herbaceous quality. It’s often used to scent perfumes and toiletries, but even better when used in cooking.
I like to steep the fresh leaves in an ice cream base to make lemon verbena ice cream, or to tear the leaves over a bowl of fresh berries to make a fancy fruit salad. It is one of my favorite ingredients to use during the spring and summer and I really look forward to finding new uses for it!
