Lemon Verbena has to be my #1 all time favorite. The smell drives me wild. it is so delicious. Here is a good way to use the herb in your kitchen.
Verbena Simple Syrup
2 cups sugar
Generous handful fresh lemon verbena leaves
Use it to sweeten your favorite herbal, black or green tea.
Brush it over your favorite white or citrus cake or sweetbreads and muffins; this will add a delicate flavor and help keep your baked goods extra moist.
Gently drizzle over a bowl of freshly sliced strawberries, blueberries, or peaches.
Use as a sweetener on top of crepes, french toast, or pancakes.
