LEMON VERBENA AND MINT TEA - FRENCH VERVEINE AND MINT TISANE



Lemon Verbena and Mint Tea - French Verveine and Mint Tisane image

This is my elderly French neighbour's recipe for a refreshing and popular French tisane, she drinks it almost daily as a digestif, using dried lemon verbena and mint leaves in the winter. Tisanes are popular in France, and most salons de thé serve all manner of wonderful natural tisanes and teas, with exotic herbs and spices, as well as fruit and berries. Nearly all French gardens have Lemon Verbena growing, it also grows wild on the hedgerows this far South in France, and it is added to all manner of things in the kitchen - from soups to sauces, and of course it makes a refreshing and easy drink. This can be served warm or chilled with ice. Garnish with fresh lemon verbena leaves.

HOW TO MAKE TISANE: 5 TYPES OF HERBAL TISANES

From masterclass.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
  • Leaf tisanes: Leaf-based tisanes like lemon verbena, peppermint, chamomile, and echinacea are among the most common tisanes. Tisanes like dill and chamomile were often used by ancient Egyptians for their health properties, while mint tisane has long been used for its soothing properties.
  • Fruit tisanes: Fruit tisanes are naturally sweetened, caffeine-free blends of fruit, spices, and herbs that are traditionally made with a hibiscus base.
  • Flower tisanes: Flowers like rose hips and lavender are the most commonly used ingredients in flower tisanes. This herbal tea blend tends to taste herbaceous and vegetal, rather than like perfume.
  • Spice and root tisanes: Spicers like cardamom and fennel deliver big flavor in a tisane. Using crushed fresh cardamom, caraway, fennel seeds or leaves, or licorice (star anise) in a tisane is an exercise in restraint and balance: using too much and the tisane may taste bitter, but the right amount of spice can enhance the character of these harmonious ingredients.
  • Toasted whole grain tisanes: Toasted whole grains like barley create a distinctly savory tisane. Versions of a barley tisane, like agua de cebada, often include sugar and lemon or lime juice to taste; the steeped grains can be strained out before consuming or left in the drink.
