Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 leaves fresh lemon verbena leaves
- 4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Rinse the lemon verbena leaves thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil.
Once the water reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from heat and add the lemon verbena leaves.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the leaves steep for 5 minutes to release their flavor.
After steeping, strain the liquid into a heatproof pitcher to remove the leaves.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice while the liquid is still warm, ensuring the honey dissolves completely.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemon verbena drink over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a fresh lemon slice and enjoy your refreshing Lemon Verbena Drink.
