JI Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) I am planning on mixing a lemon with cs basil & herb. Cs basil & herb always smells more parsley, sage and less basil to me. I was thinking "Lemons & Herbs" or something but that is so generic. I'd appreciate any suggestions!I just thought of something incorporating "bouquet garni" but maybe that sounds too ostentatious and "foodie"??Citrus Bouquet Garni? I believe BG is a mix of parsley and other herbs tied in a bunch for a stew or something. Edited December 17, 2012 by JI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 In this case, I think generic wins out! Sometimes it's all that's needed. Lemon & Herbs describes the scent perfectly. As a herb lover in blends, I would buy this on the name alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JI Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Your right. I think simple is better. The word "garni" doesn't sound particularly pleasing, to my ear. But Lemon & Herbs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy, USMC Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 And if it sounds just too generic you can turn it around and make it Herbal Lemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Lemon Basil?Citron Sage?Lemon Grass Supreme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JI Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I like the citron. Would Citron Chiffonade or "Lemon Chiffonade" sound too foodie? Chiffonade, based on the online dic is a finely chopped blend of fresh mixed herbs like parsley, etc. But wait...isn't chiffonade also a dessert?? So maybe that would not be good! I think I am overthinking this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nah. I think it should still be a straight forward name. What about Lemon Herb Tea, or Lemon Herb..."Medley", "Garden"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JI Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I love that Medley or Garden. Lemon Herb Medley. Maybe garden, they'd be expecting a floral component. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
