Andean Lemon Verbena Tea

Andean Lemon Verbena

Bright, fragrant and intensely lemony, Andean Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citrodora) is a traditional South American herb prized for its clean citrus aroma and smooth herbal flavor.

Brewed as a tea, it makes a refreshing, naturally caffeine-free infusion that is excellent hot or iced. Unlike lemon juice, the leaf contributes vivid lemon fragrance without adding sharp acidity, making it useful in both beverages and cooking.

Try it in herbal tea blends, syrups, desserts, fruit dishes, marinades, or anywhere you want a fresh lemon note.

To brew: Use approximately ⅕ to ¼ oz per quart of water. Pour just-boiled water over the herb, steep 5–8 minutes and strain. Adjust to taste.

One ounce makes approximately 4–5 quarts.

Sold by the ounce. Fine cut and dried lemon verbena leaf.
