How to Make Old Fashioned Lemon Verbena Lemonade Syrup
- Zest 2 lemons and set aside the zest. Juice the lemons and measure out 1/2 cup of lemon juice.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and the lemon zest.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add 1 cup packed fresh lemon verbena leaves to the saucepan. Allow to steep and cool completely (about 30-45 minutes).
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bottle or jar. Discard the lemon verbena leaves and lemon zest.
- Add the 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the strained syrup.
- Refrigerate the syrup until completely chilled.
- To make lemonade: add 2-4 tablespoons of syrup to a glass filled with ice and top with water or sparkling water. Stir well.
- Garnish with a lemon verbena sprig and a lemon slice. Enjoy!
