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!
