How to make lemongrass tea:

Step 1: Prepare the Lemongrass

If using fresh lemongrass, peel away tough outer layers and use only the tender parts.

Cut stalks into 2 to 3-inch lengths and gently crush them with a knife to release oils and enhance flavor.

Step 2: Boil

Place lemongrass pieces in a pot and add water.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-10 minutes to reach desired strength.

Step 3: Strain and Serve

Remove from heat when ready.

Strain lemongrass pieces and pour tea into a cup.

Optionally, add honey or lemon for sweetness.
