Lemon Verbena Loose Herbal Tea
Lemon verbena is the most intensely lemony herb you can grow or buy, and as a loose herbal tea it produces a bright, clean, citrus-forward infusion that's completely caffeine-free and genuinely refreshing over ice. Unlike lemon balm, which is softer and mintier, lemon verbena has a sharp, vivid lemon character with a slight floral edge that makes it taste almost like lemon zest dissolved in water. It's wonderful on its own as a simple iced herbal tea, but it's also one of the best flavour-enhancing additions you can make to other teas: add a small handful of dried lemon verbena leaves to a cold brew of green tea or white tea and the result is a layered, aromatic drink with a brightness that plain tea can't achieve on its own. It pairs beautifully with honey, ginger, mint, and fresh fruit, and it makes an excellent base for a lemon verbena lemonade that's more complex and interesting than standard lemonade. Naturally caffeine-free, making it a great evening option.
