Lemongrass Mint Iced Tea Recipes

Steps:

• Split 3 lemongrass stalks lengthwise, cut into 3-inch pieces, and smash lightly. Add to 6 cups water in a pot; bring to a boil. Pour into a large heatproof bowl; add tea bags and honey. Let cool, then steep in refrigerator overnight. Strain and serve over ice, garnished with a split lemongrass stalk, if desired.
