How to Make Spicy Ginger Tea With Lemongrass
- Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 inch knob of peeled and thinly sliced ginger root and 2 stalks of lemongrass (bruised gently).
- Simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Turn off the heat and add 2 tea bags of your favorite herbal tea (or 2 teaspoons loose leaf). Alternatively, omit this step for a purely ginger and lemongrass infusion.
- Steep for 5-10 minutes, or to your desired strength. If too weak, steep longer; if too strong, add more hot water.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a mug or pitcher.
- Sweeten with honey or maple syrup to taste, and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- Serve hot or chill and pour into a tall glass with ice for a refreshing treat.
