Ingredients:
3 stalks fresh lemon grass (available at asian and some supermarkets) (see note) |
raw sugar, honey, or other sweetener, as desired |
twists of lemon (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a large teapot, combine the lemon grass with about 6 cups of rapidly boiling, fresh water. Cover the teapot with a thick towel and allow to steep for 5 to 10 minutes, or until very aromatic. Pour into teacups, sweeten and serve with a twist of lemon, if desired.
2. Note: You can use the tough outer skins and upper stalks of the lemon grass for this aromatic tea, saving the tender inner stalk for slicing into stews, sautes, and soups.
