One four-dollar lemon verbena start on a sunny sill gives you tea leaves all summer, regrowing everything you pinch.

Steep a small handful of fresh leaves for five minutes, covered, so the oils stay in. Bright, almost candied lemon. No caffeine, and it settles a stomach the heat has churned.

There is a quiet defiance in growing one thing you would otherwise buy. A patch of supply chain taken back by hand.

Lemon verbena for the nerves a heat dome frayed.

A teaspoon of dried leaf, or a small handful fresh, steeped five minutes with a lid on so the oils don't escape. Bright and candied, no caffeine, easy on a churning stomach. The French call it verveine.

My very first harvest of #LemonVerbena (Aloysia citrodora) is somehow ready to dry. I only rescued this friend from the discount section at Canadian Tire a couple of weeks ago and haven't gotten around to repotting it, but it managed to transform from straggly to lush and fluffy anyway. On brand somehow-- a plant with very happy vibes.

A multilayered vanilla nettle cake with lemon verbena cream cheese frosting decorated with pansies from our garden.
The hubbs isn't ecstatic that nettles are hanging around in our small backyard, but he does like cake, so he mostly accepts it.

December 21: White Nectarine-Peach-Lemon Verbena Spread

Look. Every year they try this white nectarine-peach combo, and every year it is APPALLING. Lemon verbena did not ask to be dragged into this!! In any case, it tastes like she is pretending she is not there. Not all of us were so lucky, love
