Our organic and natural Lemon Verbena Sugar is hand-crafted with organic cane sugar and organic, bright-tasting lemon verbena. Lemon verbena is a little-known gem of an herb so we created this sugar to feature this wonderful herb. There are many lemon-flavored herbs, such as lemon thyme and lemon balm, but lemon verbena has the brightest lemon flavor. If you have a garden, it is easy to grow lemon verbena.
