How to Brew

How to Brew Verbena (Melissa) Tea:

Boiling Water: Heat water to a boil. Allow it to cool briefly, so it’s not at a rolling boil when you pour it over the dried leaves. Water at around 200°F (93°C) is suitable.
Prepare Your Teapot or Infuser: Place a tablespoon of dried verbena leaves into a teapot or a tea infuser.
Steeping: Pour the hot water over the verbena leaves. Cover and let it steep for approximately 5-7 minutes. Adjust the steeping time according to your preference; a longer steeping time will result in a stronger flavor.
Strain and Serve: Remove the verbena leaves, either by removing the infuser or using a fine mesh strainer. Pour the tea into your cup.
Optional Additions: Verbena tea can be enjoyed plain or sweetened with honey or a slice of lemon to enhance its citrusy notes
