Ingredients
As the name indicates, the lemongrass and ginger are the main ingredients required to make this tea. I’ve used both fresh but you can use frozen or dried lemongrass.
I’ve used honey as a sweetener. Feel free to swap agave or maple syrup for honey.
Instructions
Slice lemongrass stalks lengthwise and crush them slightly.
Bring water to a rolling boil in a saucepan, add lemongrass stalk, ginger and simmer for 10 minutes.
Pour the tea in a cup, mix in honey and enjoy hot and aromatic tea.
Notes
Lemongrass is slightly crushed to release more flavours.
There are no specific measurements of the ingredients for this recipe, just add more or less to suit your taste. First, add a couple of lemongrass stalks and a small piece of ginger, once it is boiled taste it, add more if necessary.
I’ve used store-bought lemongrass stalks, you can use lemongrass leaves if you get them in stores or if you grow in your garden.
