Lemon Verbena is a small tree growing to about 4cm tall and the leaves has a very strong lemon scented fragrant.

Lemon Verbena is new in the herbs gardens, it was not known until it was brought over to England by the South Americans.  The Spanish used the leaves in the tea for refreshing and it was thought to help relieved digestive problems.

Lemon Verbena is not available in the supermarket but can only found through friends and family who grows them in the garden.  Put fresh branches in a vase of water.

Leaves can be used in baked custards and rice puddings but leaves must be removed when serving.  When making tea use only 6 dried leaves or 10 fresh leaves per cup of water.
