Ingredients

  • 3-4 black/green/jasmine tea bags
  • 3 stalks lemongrass, use the lower white part only, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups (500 ml) water
  • Lime juice, from 1 lime
  • 4 lime slices, or more
  • Honey, or other sweeteners
  • Ice cubes, optional

Instructions

  • Boil lemongrass – In a medium saucepan, add water and bring to a boil. Add lemongrass and simmer for 10-15 minutes. The longer the lemongrass is boiled, the more intense the flavor of lemongrass.
  • Steep tea – Turn off the heat and steep the tea for 5 minutes.
  • Add lime juice to the tea.
  • Serve – Add honey, ice cubes if preferred, and 2 lime slices into each serving glass. Strain the tea through a sieve. If serving iced, make sure to cool the tea completely first so that the ice does not dilute the tea.
