Equipment

  • Strainer
  • Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 10 5 inch long Lemongrass Stalks chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Ginger peeled and chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 Cups Water

Instructions
 

  • Start by rinsing the lemongrass stalks and patting them dry.
  • Chop the lemongrass into about 1/2 in pieces.
  • Peel and chop ginger.
  • Add lemongrass, ginger, and water to a medium size pot.
  • Bring contents to a boil and then turn the heat down to low to continue simmering on low for 10 minutes.
  • Pour through a fine mesh strainer once the pot is cool enough to handle.
  • Sweeten with honey while the tea is still warm.

Notes

  • Make Iced Lemon Grass and Ginger Tea: If you prefer iced tea, you can easily make this tea iced by allowing the tea to completely cool, and then serving over ice.
  • Experiment with Sweetness: Aside from honey, try maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan twist. Start with a little, taste, and add more until it’s just right for you.
  • Boost with Citrus: A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice can add a lovely zesty dimension to the tea. It’s my go-to when I want a bit of extra freshness.
