- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the lemongrass stalks thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
Step 2
Trim the ends and outer layers of the lemongrass stalks, then bruise them lightly with the back of a knife to release their oils.
Step 3
Cut the stalks into 2-3 inch pieces for easier handling.

If using fresh ginger, wash, peel, and slice it into thin pieces.
Step 5
In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Add the bruised lemongrass stalks and optional ginger slices to the boiling water.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes to fully infuse the flavors.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and strain the tea into cups or a teapot using a fine mesh strainer to remove the lemongrass and ginger.
Step 9
Stir in honey to taste, if desired, and garnish with lemon slices for an extra citrusy twist.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your luscious lemongrass tea!
