This is a simple detox tea. Lemon verbena is delicious! I came across it while I was picking up my summer herb plants last spring. I had never heard of it before but learned it is good for cooking and tea. Little did I know this little herb has some amazing detox and medicinal benefits. I love lemon but hate what the acid does to my teeth. With lemon verbena you get the flavor of lemon without the acid.
Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 sprig fresh lemon verbena (about 10 leaves)
- 1 sprig fresh mint (about 15 leaves)
- 1 teaspoon honey, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Pour boiling water over verbena and mint sprigs; steep until desired flavor is reached, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in honey.
Cook’s Notes:
I keep the leaves on the stem so that I can quickly pull them out right before enjoying; no straining necessary.
