Lemon Verbena is a very potent herb and for some a little overpowering. But what can you do with it? Its used to flavor fruit, in baking and as an accompaniment to dry tea I took all the leaves off of the stems and added it to 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water. Yup you guessed it simple syrup. Cook until the sugar dissolves. Strain the leaves from the syrup. My faBulous honey made me a Lemon Verbena mojito Cheers!! Im making a Red SANGRIA for my house warming on Sat.
Lemon Verbena Mojito
2 oz golden rum
5 springs mint
2 dashes lemon verbena simple syrup
a dash of fresh lime juice
soda water
Put the mint into a highball glass, add the rum,lime juice and simple sryup, pound these ingredients with a muddler or bar spoon until the aroma of the mint has been released. Add crushed ice and stir vigorously until the mixture and the mint is spread evenly. Top with soda water and stir again.
