Ingredients:
Fresh lemongrass: 2 stalks (or dried lemongrass/tea bags)
Water: 2 cups
Optional: Honey or lemon for added sweetness and zest
Step 1: Prepare the Lemongrass
If you’re using fresh lemongrass, peel off the tough outer layers to reveal the tender inner stalks.
Cut the stalks into 2-3 inch pieces and gently crush them with a knife to release their aromatic essential oils.
Step 2: Boil the Tea
Place the prepared lemongrass in a pot with 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
Lower the heat and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
Once the tea reaches your desired strength, remove it from the heat.
Strain out the lemongrass pieces and pour the tea into a cup.
For added flavor, stir in a bit of honey or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
