This delicious lemongrass ginger tea recipe is perfect for winter. Warm up with a cup of this fragrant tea today!
Ingredients
- 1 knob of fresh ginger - peeled and sliced
- 3 cups of water
- 2 stalks of lemongrass white inner part only - crush the bulb end of the stalks with the blunt edge of your knife and slice thinly
- Honey or stevia to sweeten optional
Instructions
- Add water, ginger, and lemongrass to a small pot, and bring it to a boil. Turn the heat off and let steep for 15-20 minutes.
- Strain out lemongrass and ginger pieces (you can eat the ginger pieces if you’re up for a little burn). Add sweetener to two cups, and pour in tea.
Notes
- Try ginger tea steeped with lemon, lime, or orange peel, or different spices and herbs. If you can find Chinese Brown Sugar at an Asian grocery store, try mixing the rich, caramel-like sugar into your ginger tea (a traditional Chinese cold remedy).
- The outer green stalk of lemongrass is bitter compared to the sweet, fragrant inner white part, so it best left out when making tea (but okay as a garnish)
