* Wash – Rinse and remove any dry or tough outer layers from the lemongrass stalks and leaves.
* Chop – Cut the stalk’s root end and upper part off, leaving the tender, pale-yellow base and the green upper part. On a cutting board, finely chop the stalks into smaller pieces. Slice the ginger.
* Twist – Fold the leaves into a length that will fit the pot you are using and twist. Twisting releases more flavor from the lemongrass.
* Boil Water – Fill a pot with water based on the number of cups you intend to brew and how strong you want your tea to be. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a rolling boil.
* Steep – Once the water reaches a boil, add the chopped lemongrass stalks, twisted leaves, and sliced ginger to the pot. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
* Strain – Take the pot off the heat and carefully pour the tea through the strainer, discarding the lemongrass pieces and ginger slices.
* Serve – Pour the tea into a teacup and add sugar or honey to taste. You could squeeze a bit of lemon juice and garnish it with lemon or lime wedges or add honey. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring that the flavors are well-distributed.
Your lemongrass tea is ready
