sorry, can you explain what did they mean by the line: "1 Stiel Zitronenverben" (it is the recipe for Limoncello)?

lemon verbena

Vodka, lemon peel and verbena in a dark glass

Check the reference for "verbena". There is a specific reference to "lemon verbena".

Stiel here is stem or stalk. So \"1 Stiel Zitronenverben\" would be something like 1 stem of lemon verbena.

Thanks for the reference, Tanja.
agree Ulrike Lieder (X) : That's what I immediately thought of, too. (I'm in a gardening mode/mood now that summer's around the corner and the risk of freezing night time temps has diminished.) Verbena = Verbene in German

Thanks Nancy.
agree Steffen Walter : Yes. As Ulrike said, the German term is Verben*e (last "e" missing in ttagir's term).

Thanks for that, Steffen.
