Lemon Verbena in oil?

[northepaul]

Hiya
Firstly apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this, I couldn decide which forum was correct....
I have loads of lemon verbena, absolutely love it! I tried to save some dried leaves last year, but they didnt really work. (lost scent) I thought, as I have a lot, it might be worth infusing them in oil? Has anyone ever done this? If so, which oil is the best......olive oil has too stronger flavour?

Thanks for your help

dont forget all oils have a shelf life too. A later pressing of olive oil will work, the just better than average one but not by much price is usually ok.
Or a corn or vegetable oil.
I've only crushed basil and parsley [spearately] and mixed with olive oil and put into small packets and frozen. It works for them, but I've never done lemon verebna, so I can't authoratively comment....
Have you tried freezing the leaves between sheets of greaseproof?
