LEMON VERBENA AND MINT TEA - FRENCH VERVEINE AND MINT TISANE
This is my elderly French neighbour's recipe for a refreshing and popular French tisane, she drinks it almost daily as a digestif, using dried lemon verbena and mint leaves in the winter. Tisanes are popular in France, and most salons de thé serve all manner of wonderful natural tisanes and teas, with exotic herbs and spices, as well as fruit and berries. Nearly all French gardens have Lemon Verbena growing, it also grows wild on the hedgerows this far South in France, and it is added to all manner of things in the kitchen - from soups to sauces, and of course it makes a refreshing and easy drink. This can be served warm or chilled with ice. Garnish with fresh lemon verbena leaves.

Steps:
- Start by steeping green tea in warm water for at least 20 minutes to release antioxidants.
- Add this to two cups of water.
- Add the juice of half of a lemon.
- Add 4-5 mint leaves.
- Drink throughout the day.
Tips:
- Use fresh mint and lemon: Fresh mint and lemon will give your tea the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Use hot water: The water should be hot but not boiling. Boiling water will make the tea bitter.
- Steep the tea for 5-10 minutes: The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the flavor will be. If you like a strong tea, steep it for 10 minutes. If you prefer a milder tea, steep it for 5 minutes.
- Add honey or sugar to taste: Mint and lemon tea is naturally sweet, but you can add honey or sugar to taste if you like.
- Serve hot or cold: Mint and lemon tea can be served hot or cold. If you're serving it cold, let it cool completely before refrigerating it.
Conclusion:
Mint and lemon tea is a refreshing and flavorful tea that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It's a great way to relax and unwind, and it can also help to improve your digestion. If you're looking for a healthy and delicious tea to add to your routine, mint and lemon tea is a great choice.
