And not only does it a make a tasty beverage, it also has a whole host health benefits. Making your own takes a bit more time than a regular herbal tea but in about 15 minutes you'll be enjoying a super healthy tea with many medicinal and well-being uses that come along with it! So, if you're into making homemade spiced and herbal teas then give this one a try! (See the bottom of the page for more homemade mixes, seasonings and blends)

What You'll Need: (makes 2 cups)

4 lemongrass stalks
A piece of fresh ginger root for grating
Optional sweetener e.g honey/sugar/agave nectar etc
Enough water for 2½ cups (Some water will evaporate during simmering)

Directions:

• In a pan, bring the water to a boil

• Meanwhile, chop the bottom off the lemongrass stalks and remove the outer leaves

• Now place the stalks on a tea towel and fold over

• Using a heavy object bash the stalks so they break down a bit. A meat tenderizer or rolling pin are good for bashing

• Roughly chop the bashed stalks and set aside for a moment

• Grate about 2 tablespoons worth of ginger root
  

• Add the lemongrass and ginger to your pan, replace the lid, turn down the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes

• After simmering give a quick stir

• Finally, strain into your cups, and if using, stir in the sweetener
  
  

That's it! Serve and enjoy.
