Title: Uses for Lemon Verbena
Post by: ipt8 on September 08, 2007, 19:34:43
Over the last few years we have grown a sizeable Lemon Verbena against the wall of our house. We cut it back well each year. What I would like to know is, are there any uses for the very fragrant leaves?

   You can make a drink out of it , just put boiling water over it and let it fuse. Then you can drink it hot or cold

if you let it go cold you can then freeze into ice lollies.
if you let it go cold it makes a good toner for the face, just apply on a cotton wool ball.
my mum makes lemon jelly with it as and uses it as an addition to sweet and savoury meals.
try googling and see what you can come up with.
