Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh lemon verbena leaves thoroughly under cool running water to remove dirt or debris.
Step 2
In a large pitcher, gently bruise the lemon verbena leaves by rubbing them between your fingers. This helps release their natural oils and enhances the flavor.

Add the bruised lemon verbena leaves to the pitcher.
Step 4
Pour the filtered water over the leaves.
Step 5
If desired, thinly slice the lemon and add the slices to the pitcher for an extra citrusy flavor.
Step 6
Let the mixture infuse at room temperature for 1 hour. For a stronger flavor, refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Step 7
When ready to serve, add ice cubes if desired, and pour the infused water into glasses.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish each glass with a slice of lemon or an additional fresh lemon verbena leaf. Serve chilled and enjoy!
