Herbal Infusion Ingredients
Method
Infusion Preparation Directions
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the lemon verbena leaves and mint leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Slice the lemons in half and then into thin slices, removing any seeds.
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Infuse the Herbs
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove it from heat. Add the lemon verbena leaves and mint leaves to the water. Allow the herbs to steep for about 10-15 minutes, depending on how strong you want the infusion.
Strain the Infusion
After steeping, strain the herbal infusion through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the leaves.
Add Lemon and Sweetener
While the infusion is still warm, add the sliced lemons and honey or agave syrup. Stir well to combine until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Chill the Infusion
Let the infusion cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chilled.
Serve
Serve the herbal infusion over ice cubes in glasses. Garnish with additional mint leaves or lemon slices if desired.
