Charles Cant Spell's Tips -

Great for herbal tea, very tasty, comparible and easier to grow and make than Lemon Grass. Mainteneace free, prune often to bush plant, using the tips to put in your food and tea will suffice for pruning.

Great in food as well for a lemony edge, A bit like Lemon Tyme.

This lemon verbana, the leaves are too coarse and rough surface, what do you do with them ? I had mine pulled up from the garden bed. But it smell nice though.

Well most people make tea. Pick off half a dozen leaves or 2-3 tips pour boiling water over laeve for 5 mins. Is good. I use it in my cooking though as my daughter gets rash from citrus at the moment so its my citrus flavour. If you dice it fine and put it in most dishes you wont notice the texture. its just a little rough to eat raw.

Charles Cant Spell's Tips -

The rind of the kaffir lime is commonly used in Lao and Thai curry paste, adding an aromatic, astringent flavor. Its hourglass-shaped leaves (comprising the leaf blade plus a flattened, leaf-like leaf-stalk or petiole) are also widely used in Thai and Lao cuisine (for dishes such as tom yum), and Cambodian cuisine (for the base paste known as "Krueng"). The leaves are also popular in Indonesian cuisine (especially Balinese and Javanese), for foods such as sayur asam - literally sour vegetables, and are also used along with Indonesian bay leaf for chicken and fish. They are also found in Malaysian and Burmese cuisines.

The leaves can be used fresh or dried, and can be stored frozen.

The juice and rinds of the kaffir lime are used in traditional Indonesian medicine; for this reason the fruit is sometimes referred to in Indonesia as jeruk obat - literally "medicine citrus". The oil from the rind also has strong insecticidal properties. The juice is generally regarded as too acidic to use in food preparation, but finds use as a cleanser for clothing and hair, mainly in Thailand.

The zest of the fruit is widely used in creole cuisine and to impart flavor to "arranged" rums in the R%uFFFDunion island and Madagascar.
