Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 stalks Fresh lemongrass stalks
- 4 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Honey (optional)
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the lemongrass stalks thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
Trim the ends of the stalks and remove the tough outer layers. Cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces and lightly crush them with the back of a knife to release their natural oils.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Add the prepared lemongrass pieces to the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover and let the lemongrass steep for 7-10 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer the flavor.
Strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh sieve to remove the lemongrass pieces.
If desired, stir in honey for sweetness and garnish with a slice of lemon for added flavor.
Serve the lemongrass tea hot and enjoy its calming aroma and taste.
