Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Verbena Syrup.
Step 1
To create a delightful lemon verbena syrup, start by gathering a small saucepan and combining it with water, sugar, and fresh lemon verbena leaves.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir occasionally as the mixture heats up.
Step 3
Keep an eye on it until it reaches a gentle boil, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 4
Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for just one minute; this brief simmering time allows the lovely flavors of the lemon verbena to infuse into the syrup beautifully.
Step 5
After that minute, take the saucepan off the heat and let the syrup steep for 30 minutes.
Step 6
This is the perfect time for the lemon verbena to work its magic, filling the syrup with its fragrant essence.
Step 7
Once the steeping is done, grab a fine mesh strainer and carefully pour the syrup into a sterilized glass jar, leaving the lemon verbena leaves behind.
Step 8
Finally, allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before sealing the jar.
Step 9
Now you have a delicious homemade lemon verbena syrup ready to elevate your drinks and desserts! Enjoy the refreshing taste and the satisfaction of making it yourself.
