How to Make Mali Lemon Grass Tea
- Gently bruise 1-2 stalks of lemongrass by lightly pounding them with a meat mallet or rolling pin. This releases the lemongrass's essential oils for a more flavorful tea.
- Boil 2 cups of water in a kettle. Rinse a teapot with the hot water to preheat it.
- Add the bruised lemongrass stalks to the teapot.
- Pour the boiling water over the lemongrass, ensuring it's fully submerged.
- Cover the teapot and let it steep for 5-7 minutes, or to your desired strength.
- Strain the tea into small cups, removing the lemongrass stalks.
- Add a teaspoon or two of sugar or honey to sweeten, if desired. Garnish with a fresh lemongrass sprig (optional).
