I am a tea drinker by excellence, but mostly herbs and green teas. Lemon Verbena is my all time favourite because of the aroma of citrus it gives to drinks. <br />When they started to grow this spring, I cut some very tender leaves from the garden but they never made it to the teapot. Instead I just put them in a jar with cold water to drink and kept refilling the jar - the scent and taste were amazing, like for days. - Maria Teresa Jorge <br />Then, a few weeks later I used it to infuse milk for a dessert recipe, and then with strawberries to make strawberry syrup for my granddaughter to have with water for tea. I normally use plain water but Food52 is always surprising me with ideas and why not with lemon soda, Tonic water or just carbonated water instead. I would even dare to pick it up with Champagne for a special brunch! <br />
