Comment préparer Lemon Verbena Iced Tea

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Boil for 1 minute, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Remove from heat and let the sugar syrup cool completely.
Meanwhile, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a separate saucepan.
Add 1 cup packed fresh lemon verbena leaves (or 2-3 tablespoons dried) to the boiling water.
Steep for 1 minute.
Immediately remove the lemon verbena leaves and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Once cool, drain the lemon verbena leaves thoroughly.
Combine the cooled sugar syrup and the lemon verbena leaves in a blender.
Blend until completely smooth.
Cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
The next day, strain the lemon verbena syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids.
Fill six tall glasses with 2 cups of ice each.
Add 1 cup of brewed tea to each glass.
Add 2 tablespoons of the chilled lemon verbena syrup to each glass.
Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon wedges, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
