Both drinks follow the same simple method: verbena leaves steeped in just-boiled water for five to seven minutes, then strained into a light, citrusy, fragrant infusion. The Louiza tea suggests gently bruising fresh leaves to release more aroma and may finish with optional Greek honey and a thin slice of fresh lemon for an extra zesty note. The tisane de verveine offers sugar or honey to taste but notes that verbena often needs no sweetener, making it the plainer, more herb-focused cup.
