    "content_text": "Verveine, or lemon verbena, is the herb the French reach for on a hot afternoon, and one taste of it iced shows why. It is intensely lemony and perfumed, more so than lemon balm, yet completely caffeine-free, so it makes a clean, fragrant cooler you can drink at any time of day. A wheel of lemon and a sprig of the verbena itself, lightly bruised, push the citrus scent right to the front. Brew it strong so it carries over the ice.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
