[Gardening]

Here is one recipe to help you use the harvest from your “lemon” herbs.

LEMON-LIME QUICK FROSTING

1/4 cup milk 1 stick butter, softened
1 box powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh lemon herbs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
juice of one lime
1 tsp. grated fresh lime rind, green part only

Cream the butter, then gradually add the powdered sugar and remaining ingredients. Beat until light and fluffy. If too thick, add a little more milk or lime juice. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Spread the frosting over the tops of the cupcakes. Decorate with a whole lemon or lime scented geranium leaf, with a thin twisted half lime slice, or with a sprinkling of fresh chopped lemon balm leaves.
