A woman was carrying a huge bunch of Lemon Verbena. It smelled so absolutely delicious that I just had to comment. I didn't even know what it was, as I've never seen, smelled, cooked with this delightful herb before. She was so excited at my excitement that she handed me a bunch. And she gave me two easy ways to use it:
- Steep the leaves in hot water to enhance the aroma and herbal properties, creating a relaxing & calming tea.
- Place lemon verbena in a vodka bottle; cover and shake to evenly distribute. Infuse for 5 days. Boom - you have a delish end of the summer cocktail.
Hmmm - which one shall I choose?
Try something new this weekend - an herb, a fruit or veggie, or even a random conversation. It's these brief moments in time, when you cross paths with someone special, that can create a light and a sparkle, and invite something new into your life.
Buon Fine Settimana Peeps/Have a Great Weekend! Big Love, PatriciaG
