2c sugar
2c.water
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
1/4 c lavender flowers and leaves washed and left whole
2tbsp fresh lemon verbena leaves left whole.
Combine sugar and water and lavender & verbena in a medium saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sugar dissolves about 3-4 minutes. Cool completely and remove or strain if necessary lavender & verbena out. Add lemon juice & zest and stir to combine. Let stand or refrigerate until cooled completely.* Mixture can be covered overnight in the fridge, or chill in an ice bath for 30 minutes. Freeze according to manufactures requirements or place in freezer bag and massage every so often to break up ice crystals.
I love everything lemon. This was like an herbal spa treatment. It was soft, sweet, tart and delicately flavored with the lavender & verbena. It is a beauty. Could also be beautifully served with a Brut or dry champange as a cocktail.
