How to Make Lemon Grass Tea

  1. Rinse 3 stalks of lemongrass and gently bruise them with the back of a knife to release their oils.
  2. Place the bruised lemongrass and 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste) in a teapot.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of thinly sliced fresh ginger (optional) to the teapot.
  4. Boil 4 cups of water and carefully pour it over the lemongrass, sugar, and ginger in the teapot.
  5. Cover the teapot and let the tea steep for at least 10 minutes, or longer for a stronger brew.
  6. Remove the lemongrass stalks before serving. If using ginger, you may leave it in for a stronger ginger flavor, or remove it before serving.
  7. Pour the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into your favorite teacups and enjoy!
