Lemon Verbena Lemonade



Martha Stewart Living, 2008

Makes 6-8 servings

    1 1/4 cups sugar                                               
    1 1/4 cups water                                               
    1/4 cup lemon verbena leaves                                   
    5 cups lemon juice (24 lemons)  
                               

Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, and add lemon verbena. Cover, and steep for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, and let cool completely.

Combine lemon juice and lemon verbena syrup in a pitcher. Fill glasses with ice, and divide lemonade among glasses. (Or cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.)
