How to Make Luscious Lemongrass Tea
- Rinse and roughly chop 2 stalks of lemongrass, removing any tough outer layers.
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped lemongrass, 1 inch piece of peeled and thinly sliced ginger (optional), and 4 cups of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Remove from heat and let the tea steep for an additional 5 minutes.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a mug or pitcher.
- For a sweeter taste (optional), add honey or a sugar substitute to taste.
- Serve hot or allow to cool completely before serving chilled. Add ice and a lemon wedge for extra refreshment!
