How to Make Ginger And Lemongrass Iced Green Tea

  1. Cut 4 stalks of lemongrass into 2-inch lengths and gently crush them using the flat side of a large knife to release their aroma.
  2. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger, and the crushed lemongrass. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately add 4 green tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf green tea).
  4. Steep for 4-5 minutes, or until the tea reaches your desired strength and color. Remove tea bags/strain loose leaf tea.
  5. Allow the tea to cool slightly at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  6. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a glass pitcher to remove solids.
  7. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  8. Pour the iced tea into tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and enjoy!
