Instructions
- Rinse the herbs. If desired, set aside 2 lemon verbena sprigs for garnish. Put the remaining lemon verbena sprigs and the mint in a teapot.
- In a saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat, pour the water into the teapot and let the tisane steep until the desired strength is reached, usually 3 to 5 minutes. Pour through a tea strainer or fine-mesh sieve into 2 mugs, dividing it evenly. Slip a lemon verbena sprig into each mug. Serve immediately and pass the sugar at the table. Serves 2.
