Verbena

What are the benefits of verbena in infusions?

The verbena we use is lemon verbena , a small shrub imported from Latin America in the 18th century for its delicate lemony scent.

The officinal verbena of our regions, already used by druids and witches, has unfortunately fallen into disuse...

Lemon verbena is often mentioned to promote calm and elimination.

Everyone will believe what they want... We guarantee you at least a moment of calm and pleasure .

What verbena is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?

It is always taste that guides the choice of our master infusers.

Our lemon verbena has been carefully selected from producers who share our values, before being cut and assembled in our workshops.

Les 2 Marmottes work directly with producers who have been involved for 3 generations to select plants from their native lands, according to the rhythm of the seasons.

Grown in Morocco, verbena dries on site in a few hours, which allows us to work with the leaf as whole as possible.

No added flavorings are ever used in our infusions and teas: plants and nothing else. We don't mess with the druids...

In which recipes do our master infusers use verbena?

We use it in our evening infusions like Fée Nuit , or our famous Marmot Infusion . In addition to its magical powers, it is this lemony note that we seek in its green leaves. It forms a well-balanced trio in our homemade recipe Mint Linden Verbena .

It is also a valuable ally in the kitchen . To make verbena syrup, simmer 500 ml of water and 500 g of sugar in a saucepan. Infuse 10 sachets of our verbena in it. fragrant for 20 minutes. Let cool. In season, add strawberries...
