How to make that lemon verbena tea

First, you gotta find some of that lemon verbena. If you ain’t got a plant, maybe a neighbor does. Just a few leaves is all ya need. Don’t go strippin’ the whole bush now!

  • Get them lemon verbena leaves.
  • Wash them leaves good. Don’t want no dirt in your tea.
  • Put ’em in a big ol’ jug or somethin’.

Then you gotta boil some water. I use about two big scoops, like the kind you use for soup. Just pour that boilin’ water right over them leaves. Gotta let it sit there for a bit, maybe fifteen minutes or so. Let all that goodness seep out into the water.

When it’s done, you gotta fish out them leaves. We don’t want no leaves in our tea. Just the good stuff. You can drink it hot, or you can put some ice in it. Makes a nice cold drink on a hot day.

This here lemon verbena tea, it ain’t just for drinkin’, neither. I use it for all sorts of things. If I got a headache, I drink some. If I can’t sleep, I drink some. It’s good for just about everythin’!

Some folks say it makes ’em sleepy. Well, yeah, it might. That’s why it’s good for bedtime. Don’t go drinkin’ a whole pot and then tryin’ to drive your tractor or somethin’! And don’t mix it with them sleepin’ pills. Too much of a good thing, ya know?

My grandma, she used to make this tea all the time. She’d put a little honey in it sometimes. Said it was good for a sore throat. I don’t know about that, but it sure does taste good with a little somethin’ sweet in it.

I grow my own lemon verbena, right outside my kitchen door. It’s easy to grow, don’t need much care. Just some water and sunshine. And it smells so good when the wind blows. Keeps the mosquitoes away, too, they say.

Lemon verbena tea good for ya
