Ingredients

• 226 g Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tbsp Fresh lemon verbena leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 1 tsp Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Place the unsalted butter in a medium mixing bowl. Make sure the butter is soft but not melted.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped lemon verbena leaves, lemon zest, sea salt, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl.

Step 3

Using a spatula or hand mixer, gently mix the ingredients until they are fully incorporated and the butter is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Scrape the butter mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Form it into a log shape, wrapping it tightly for an even, compact roll.

Step 5

Refrigerate the butter log for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.

Step 6

Once chilled, unwrap and slice the butter into rounds or use as needed. Store unused butter in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
