Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (sliced) Fresh ginger root
- 2 whole (lightly crushed) Lemongrass stalks
- 4 cups Water
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 2 whole Star anise
- 2 tablespoons (optional, to taste) Honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tablespoon (optional, to taste) Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root and slice it into thin pieces.
Prepare the lemongrass by lightly crushing the stalks with the back of a knife to release their aroma and flavor.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the water, sliced ginger, lemongrass stalks, cinnamon stick, and star anise.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
After simmering, carefully strain the tea into a teapot or directly into serving cups to remove the solids.
If desired, stir in honey and lemon juice to taste for sweetness and a hint of citrus.
Serve the tea warm and enjoy!
