Lemongrass Tea
A Lemongrass tea is refreshing and will always remind you of your last Thailand vacation or drink in your favourite local thai resaturant. This tea also provide lots of health benefits like good digestion, cleanse and detoxify the body and good for cold and flu.
This drink is very simple to prepare and require only 15 min of your time. You can also add varatiotio to the drink, for me I love to add green tea powder. Many add ginger to have slight spiced taste and to get rid of excess “wind” in the tummy.
Ingredients
2 litre of water
4 pandan leaves (knotted)
2 lemongrass (pound the white part with the back of your knife)
Optional: you can use 2tsp dried lemongrass if you can find in your local supermarket
