Lemon Verbena Syrup

Combine water, sugar, and the fragrant lemon verbena leaves in a small saucepan. Heat it up until the mixture reaches its boiling point, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar is fully incorporated. Allow it to simmer for 1 minute, creating a rich and flavorful base. Next, take the saucepan off the heat source and let it sit for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

After the steeping process is complete, carefully pour the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a sterilized glass jar to remove the lemon verbena leaves, which have now lost their potency. Finally, let the syrup cool down to room temperature before serving or storing it in the refrigerator.
