Fresh leaves burst with scent of lemon when squeezed. A truly delightful tea made from the fresh or dried leaves is a favourite tea at anytime as it both stimulate the heart and calms the nerves. Fresh chopped leaves can also be used in salads, soups or stews. A good complement to basil and other spices.
