Lemon Grass Tea Recipes

Steps:

• In a large teapot, combine the lemon grass with about 6 cups of rapidly boiling, fresh water. Cover the teapot with a thick towel and allow to steep for 5 to 10 minutes, or until very aromatic. Pour into teacups, sweeten and serve with a twist of lemon, if desired.

Steps:

• Place the lemon grass and sugar in a teapot. Boil the water and pour into the teapot. Let the tea steep for at least 10 minutes. Pour the tea through a strainer and into teacups.

Steps:

• While the water is boiling, clean the stalks of lemongrass under running water then cut and discard the green upper part of the stalks, you only want to use the whitest part.
• Next, using a meat tenderizer or hammer of any sort gently smash the stalks on your cutting board.
• Place the smashed stalks of lemon grass inside the tea pot along with the peeled ginger if you decide to use it.
• Pour the boiling water over and allow to steep for 5 minutes.
