Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 stalks Fresh lemongrass stalks
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger (optional)
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional)
Instructions
Wash the lemongrass stalks thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
Trim the ends and outer layers of the lemongrass stalks, then bruise them lightly with the back of a knife to release their oils.
Cut the stalks into 2-3 inch pieces for easier handling.
If using fresh ginger, wash, peel, and slice it into thin pieces.
In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the bruised lemongrass stalks and optional ginger slices to the boiling water.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes to fully infuse the flavors.
Turn off the heat and strain the tea into cups or a teapot using a fine mesh strainer to remove the lemongrass and ginger.
Stir in honey to taste, if desired, and garnish with lemon slices for an extra citrusy twist.
Serve hot and enjoy your luscious lemongrass tea!
