Organic Lemon Verbena

Lemon verbena is a herb native to South America that is known for its traditional beneficial effects on health and qualities as a food additive. The dried herb is often added to herbal tea blends and is sometimes also used topically on the skin to soften and relieve puffiness.

Lemon verbena has a somewhat lighter, less aggressive flavour than other lemon-based plants, best described as lemon perfume. It is also often used in desserts, teas, drinks, cocktails and in baking and cooking. Recipes can be found online.
