    How to make lemongrass tea, lemongrass black tea recipe

    July 18, 2017 by Raks Anand 2 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    How to make lemongrass black tea with step by step pictures. An easy and flavorful black tea made with fresh lemongrass.

    lemongrass black tea

    I became a big fan of lemongrass tea when I had it for the very first time at Bali. It was served as welcome drink at our stay but had no idea what it was.

    It was so refreshing and served cold. Later when we went around there, we had a stop at one manufacturer where they also served this flavorful lemongrass drink. Later we got instant mix for the same and came.

    After that we kept buying lemongrass tea bags and everything had ginger in it. Nothing matched the one we had there. Still never had a thought to try with fresh lemongrass.

    My notes

    Last week my relative told me to try this. First time I didn’t know the knack and the tea turned out bitter.

    I added too much tea powder. Then after few trials, realized should add less tea powder. Adding too much lemongrass or boiling too long also turns the tea bitter.

    Though hot tea is perfectly tasty, I love to have it cold the best. But at times, I could not wait until it gets chilled. So have it hot. You can add lemon juice if you like. Good as such too.
