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.
