Organic verbena refreshing syrup
Why did we make verbena syrup?
Verbena is one of our crops because all our visitors to our gites www.locations-06.fr appreciate it.
It seduces with its color, its smell, has many uses and adapts wonderfully to our clay-limestone soils and our Mediterranean climate.
It requires little water and grows quickly, and tastes wonderfully with bitter orange, our traditional crop.
The cultivation of verbena.
This is lemon verbena (aloysia citrodora).
We bought our organic plants from a farmer colleague, and now we make our own cuttings.
Planted in the ground in May and then watered, the verbenas are hand-hoeed and amended with organic fertilizer. We cut them 2 to 3 times in the summer and only use the leaves.
The transformation of verbena into syrup.
Use of verbena syrup.
If this syrup has a very refreshing taste, the TERROIR-06 VERBENA SYRUP also has the virtues of the plant because our syrup is made – something very rare – with VERBENA HYDROLATE, therefore resulting from distillation.
This syrup will be your best drink during hot weather because it is very thirst-quenching! In very cold water or tea!
You can also use it in a fruit salad with strawberries and peaches for example or to sweeten a vinaigrette for a mixed salad.

Ce sirop est un délice. Il est très désaltérant. Je venais pour le site pour en recommander mais il est rupture de stock
