My recently neglected ginger 'bug' has grown an interesting-looking disc on the surface - any idea if this is a genuine scoby?

One of the Noma kombucha recipes uses dried lemon verbena as a flavouring - don't suppose you have a plant?

It works!

Is that different from Lemon Balm? I've got lots of that.

Lemon Balm is a variety of mint, apparently, and unrelated to Verbena. Will have to investigate further!
