LEMON VERBENA ICE CREAM
Lemon verbena's seductive floral-citrus scent and taste lend energy and grace to ice cream. In this recipe, you'll boil and steep fresh verbena leaves in half-and-half and sugar and, with seven egg yolks and heavy cream, turn the mixture into a custard over heat. Then freeze it in your ice cream maker. The best source for the leaves may be a plant of your own, or try your local farmers' market or nursery.

LEMON VERBENA ICE CREAM
Since I'm in the people-pleasing mode, although I squirreled away a bunch of lemon verbena from my friend's shrub, you can probably find some if you ask friends, or at your local farmer's market or well-stocked grocers. You could equal parts fresh mint instead.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, warm the lemon verbena leaves with the milk, 1/2 cup (125ml) of the cream, the sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Once warm, remove from heat, cover, and let steep for one hour.
- To make the ice cream custard, pour the remaining cream into a large bowl set in a larger bowl of ice water, and put a mesh strainer on top.
- Use a strainer or slotted spoon to skim the lemon verbena from the cream & milk mixture and squeeze the leaves to extract as much liquid as possible back into the saucepan, then discard them. Rewarm the lemon verbena-infused cream & milk, then
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together in a small bowl and slowly pour in the warm infusion, whisking constantly.
- Scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan and cook, stirring continuously with a heatproof spatula, until the custard leaves a trail on the spatula when you drag your finger across it. (If using a thermometer, it should read about 175ºF, or 79ºC.)
- Immediately strain the custard into the bowl of cream. Stir until cool.
- Chill thoroughly, then freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. When done, crumble a dried verbena leaf in the ice cream, or finely-chop a fresh leaf and stir that in.
LEMON VERBENA ICE CREAM
Heady lemon verbena lends an herbal, floral note to our summer pudding. Be sure to save this recipe for when you've found fresh verbena - dried just won't be the same.

LEMON VERBENA GRANITA
Granita is the earliest form of ice cream and is basically flavoured ice that is then "scratched" up with a fork to make it all crystally. It's very refreshing. Lemon verbena has a limey, citrus smell, and according to my friend Jekka, it acts as a relaxant if infused in boiling water, helping you sleep.

Steps:
- Place a small metal tray into the freezer to chill. Put the lemon verbena, lemon zest, and sugar into the boiling water and allow to infuse for 10 minutes. Add your ice cubes to bring the temperature down and then sieve the liquid into the cold metal tray (keep the lemon zest and verbena for later) and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Mash with a fork, scratching up the ice, then freeze for a further 2 hours.
- To prepare the apple compote, put 2 tablespoons of sugar into a small pan and heat on a medium heat until it is syrupy and light caramel color. Finely chop the reserved lemon zest and lemon verbena and add to the caramel with the apple and lemon juice. Mix and cook for a couple of minutes.
- To serve, spoon a little compote into 4 small shot glasses, then a spoonful of creme fraiche, and finally top with the granita and a small sprig of lemon verbena.
LEMON VERBENA ICE CREAM FROM A FRENCH COUNTRY HERB GARDEN
I grow many old fashioned and unusual herbs in my garden in France, and although many people know Lemon Balm, Lemon Verbena is not so well known, which is such a shame! For me the flavour is MUCH more lemony and intense than Lemon Balm - think lemon sherbet, and you have a good idea of what to expect! The plant has graceful pointed leaves that are a gorgeous pale green in colour. Just scrunching a leaf in your hand to release the aromas can help fatigue or a headache. This is an ice cream I came up with to refresh and revive even the most jaded of palates - refreshing and with an amazing lemony zing! You should be able to source Lemon Verbena at any good Farmer's Markets - alternatively, make friends with someone who grows it! (Prep time includes the time to infuse the leaves to extract the flavour.)

LEMON VERBENA AND EARL GREY TEA ICE CREAM
Too hot for a cup of hot tea? (Mind you, being British, there is never a wrong time for a cup of tea for me!) However, this wonderful ice cream has all the elements of a cup of delicate Earl Grey tea, but with the added lift of lemon verbena. Perfect for a hot day or a sophisticated and elegant dessert for any summer patio party. For a quirky twist, serve the ice cream in a tea cup and saucer, or serve it in little frosted glass bowls with fresh lemon verbena leaves. Remove the ice cream from the freezer at least 10 minutes before serving.(Recipe adapted from Helen Graves and Persia in Peckham.)

Steps:
- Make your Earl Grey tea, with loose tea or tea bags, if you must! Then add the dried lemon verbena, or 10 large fresh lemon verbena leaves, stir well and allow to infuse for 10 minutes.
- Put the freshly brewed Earl Grey tea, single cream and milk into a pan and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they thicken and pale. Remove the milk mixture from the heat, then whisk it into the egg mix.
- Put the whole lot back onto a gentle heat until it thickens, stirring very regularly. On no account should you let this boil, otherwise the eggs will scramble. Set it aside to cool with a dampened circle of greaseproof paper on the top, to stop a skin forming.
- When cool, either churn in an ice cream maker, adding the whipping cream towards the end of churning, or pour into a freezer-proof container, then cover it and freeze until half frozen. At this point, scoop it into a bowl, then whisk up the whipping cream and fold it into the ice cream. Put it back into the freezer until it is of ice cream consistency. You can repeat this as often as you can be bothered, to reduce the amount of crystals in the finished ice cream.
- Remove from the freezer at least 10 minutes before serving. Store for up to 3 months in the freezer.
