How to Make Lemongrass Iced Tea

  1. Rinse 4 stalks of lemongrass and slice into 1/2-inch thick rings.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the lemongrass rings with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the tea reaches your desired strength. The longer it simmers, the stronger the lemongrass flavor will be.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste). Let cool slightly.
  5. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher filled with ice cubes.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra lemongrass rings and a lemon wedge, if desired.
