Cover airtight, and leave to infuse for several weeks. The sugar then has a delicate aroma and flavor of rose or lemon, or whatever you used.<BR/><BR/>I DO grow lemon verbena - one of my favorites. I cut it fresh all summer and use it for tisanes, so I rarely have enough left by fall to do the sugar thing - but I'm sure that would work as well. I *have* made syrup, jelly and sorbet with it.<BR/><BR/>PG - it has the advantage of being ridiculously easy. Makes great shortbread, or poundcake or tea sweetener as well.tlchanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259427561396960607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18941959.post-1162835435337208692006-11-06T09:50:00.000-08:002006-11-06T09:50:00.000-08:00What a lovely idea, I haven't had a fragrant leaf ...What a lovely idea, I haven't had a fragrant leaf geranium for a couple of years, but reading this I can just conjure the smell...Gretelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399585879728373265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18941959.post-1162810725660638932006-11-06T02:58:00.000-08:002006-11-06T02:58:00.000-08:00so, with the geranium leaves - do you put them int...so, with the geranium leaves - do you put them into sugar? I haven't heard of that, but what a marvellous idea. I must do it with my rose geranium leave.<BR/>do you grow lemon verbena? that is a wonderfully aromatic herb.Miss Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144002124919728056noreply@blogger.com
