Sorry so late to the thread. I have a good bit of lemon verbena in a pot. It grew very big. It smells heavenly every time I walk past it. Does anyone have any special recipes or ways they use it? I haven’t tried yet, but I’m dying to do something with it.
When I have chicken or fish in a marinade, it’s nice to add a handful of (lightly crushed) Lemon Verbena leaves to the mix for the lemony flavor it imparts.
I’ve put sugar and fresh leaves in a blender, then put it in a covered jar for a lemon-infused sugar that’s great in tea.
You can infuse the leaves in vinegar for a lemon-flavored vinegar.
Lemon Verbena Pesto. Never made it, but it sounds good, again, with fish or chicken:
