Fresh Lemongrass: Two stalks of fresh lemongrass are ideal. Dried lemongrass or lemongrass tea bags can be used as substitutes.
Water: About 2 cups for brewing.
Honey or Lemon (optional): Enhance the flavor with honey or a squeeze of lemon.
- Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Lemongrass
If using fresh lemongrass, peel away tough outer layers and use only the tender parts.
Cut stalks into 2 to 3-inch lengths and gently crush them with a knife to release oils and enhance flavor.
Step 2: Boil
Place lemongrass pieces in a pot and add water.
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-10 minutes to reach desired strength.
Step 3: Strain and Serve
Remove from heat when ready.
Strain lemongrass pieces and pour tea into a cup.
Optionally, add honey or lemon for sweetness.
