lemon verbena

Native to South America, the long, slender leaves of this potent herb have an overpowering lemonlike flavor. For that reason, a light touch is necessary when adding lemon verbena (also called simply verbena ) to food. It’s available dried and sometimes fresh in specialty produce markets. It’s used to flavor fruit salads and some sweet dishes, and for tea (tisane).
