Use lemon verbena in recipes in place of lemon zest. Steep lemon verbena in hot water to brew tea or in milk to create a flavoured base for ice cream, sorbet, or pudding. Bury a few leaves in sugar in a sealed container and use as a flavouring. Use leaves to flavour vinegar, salad dressing, or marinades.
