Celebrate the arrival of summer, the dawn of beach season, and warmer weather with this recipe for Fresh Lemon Verbena and Mint Tea. Beforehand, giving yourself plenty of time for the ice cubes to freeze, prepare lime peel infused ice cubes by placing a piece of lime peel in each ice cube tray before covering with water and freezing. Allow the lemon verbena and mint leaves to infuse in the boiling water for at least 4 minutes before adding the cold water. Full of refreshing flavor, you can sweeten this tea with your favorite sweetener to your own preference.
