An aromatic and refreshing drink, lemongrass iced tea combines the zesty, refreshing aroma of lemongrass with the calming effects of herbal tea. Traditionally used in Southeast Asia for its digestive, sedative, and detoxifying effects, this lemongrass tea recipe works as a healthy drink. This tea is best consumed hot during the monsoons or cold in the summer. The iced version, which includes mint, honey, lime juice, and brewed lemongrass, is really pleasant. Caffeine-free and immediately uplifting in scent, it’s a wonderful substitute for ordinary iced teas. This lemongrass tea recipe is adaptable; you may have it unsweetened for a subtle herbal taste or with honey for a calming addition.

Description - Step 1

Prepare lemongrass infusion

First, wash three stalks of fresh lemongrass. Then, use the back of a knife to gently crush the stalks, releasing their oils. Bring four cups of water to a boil and add them. While the water is coming to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for around 8 to 10 minutes. This infuses the water with lemongrass' citrussy taste.
