Notes
- Freshness Counts: Always look out for the freshest lemongrass stalks – it makes a world of difference. They should feel firm and smell lemony.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of honey based on your taste or substitute it with your favorite sweetener.
- Enhance with Extras: Don’t shy away from adding that lemon or ginger if you’re feeling adventurous. The lemon gives it a refreshing zing, while the ginger adds a nice warmth and spiciness.
- Iced Tea: To make this tea iced, allow the tea to fully cool and then refrigerate until cold. Serve over ice. (Pro tip: consider making tea ice cubes for serving.
- Tea Ice Cubes: To make tea ice cubes, simply pour some brewed tea into an ice cube tray and freeze. They’re perfect for iced lemongrass tea since they don’t dilute the flavor as they melt.
- Party Size: Feel free to make a larger batch! This tea keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days, so it’s great to have on hand.
- Reheat with Care: If you prefer your tea warm, it reheats beautifully on the stove.
- Get Creative: Remember, this recipe is all about making it your own, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different sweeteners, and spices, or even add other herbal teas into the mix for a unique blend.
