Lemon Verbena & Peach Sorbet – A Little Taste of Summer!

Lemon Verbena & Peach Sorbet – A Little Taste of Summer!

There is something about summer fruit that makes me ridiculously happy! After months of watching our fruit trees wake up, flower and slowly develop their fruit, we finally get to enjoy the harvest. And what better way to celebrate summer than with something homemade, refreshing and absolutely delicious?

Today we're taking one of my favourite fragrant herbs, lemon verbena, and pairing it with juicy summer peaches to make a beautiful homemade sorbet. If you've never used lemon verbena in a dessert before, you're in for a treat. Its lovely citrus fragrance works beautifully with the sweetness of stone fruit, and you don't need an ice cream machine to make this recipe.
