How to Make Lemon Verbena Water

  1. Rinse 1 cup (approximately 10-12 large) fresh lemon verbena leaves under cool water.
  2. Add the rinsed lemon verbena leaves to a 2-quart glass jar.
  3. Fill the jar with 64 ounces (8 cups) of filtered water.
  4. Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
  5. Place the jar in direct sunlight for at least 2-3 hours, or until the water has reached your desired level of lemon verbena flavor. The longer it sits, the stronger the flavor will be (up to 4-6 hours, but avoid leaving it in the sun for too long to prevent the water from getting too warm).
  6. Remove the lemon verbena leaves from the jar.
  7. Pour the infused water into glasses filled with ice and enjoy! Add a few leaves to hot tea or iced tea for an extra burst of flavor.
