Sip of the Week: Lemon Verbena + Orange Slices

From the Garden to Your Glass
This week’s refreshing recipe comes from Heather Noland — who shared her favorite way to hydrate with intention: a bright infusion of lemon verbena and fresh orange slices.

It’s a simple way to elevate your water ritual with ingredients you can grow — or harvest from your local garden or market. The citrus adds brightness, while the lemon verbena brings a calming, citrusy aroma known for supporting digestion and relaxation.

Make It a Ritual:

“My days are full, but taking two minutes to prepare something beautiful and nourishing helps me slow down and reconnect — with myself and with what matters.” — Heather Noland

Start your day by preparing your infused water while checking in on your garden. Mist your herbs, breathe in the lemony scent of verbena, and take a moment for yourself before the rush begins.

“Small sips. Big impact.”
