LOUISA: GREEK LEMON VERBENA HERBAL TEA

Louisa: Greek Lemon Verbena Herbal Tea image

I found out about Louisa during the ZWT6 Nector of the Gods Challenge and thought I would post the recipe from the site I found the information, greekfood.about.com. Therapeutic uses: Louisa is believed to have a stimulative effect on the digestive tract; thus, the belief that it aids in slimming. It is also used to aid in digestion, and is believed to have a calming effect on the nerves. At the market: Louisa is sold under several names, the most common being lemon verbena. It can be found as a prepared tea (bags), as loose tea, and as dried leaves.

LEMON VERBENA MINT DETOX TEA

Lemon Verbena Mint Detox Tea image

This is a simple detox tea. Lemon verbena is delicious! I came across it while I was picking up my summer herb plants last spring. I had never heard of it before but learned it is good for cooking and tea. Little did I know this little herb has some amazing detox and medicinal benefits. I love lemon but hate what the acid does to my teeth. With lemon verbena you get the flavor of lemon without the acid.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 fresh vanilla bean
fresh herbs such as lemon verbena leaf (or rosemary sprig or mint leaf or basil leaves)
lemon peel strip
1 inch piece fresh ginger

In a saucepan combine water and sugar. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

VARIATIONS:.
VANILLA INFUSION: Add one fresh vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, to the hot sugar-water mixture. If desired, after cooling, remove the vanilla bean and use the tip of a small knife to scrape the seeds from the beans into the syrup (flecks of dark seeds will color the crystal-clear syrup).
