Aromatic Lemongrass Mint Tea

Singapore is a tropical country. A glass of icy Lemongrass Tea refreshes & perks you up for the day. Besides coconut drink, I'd always order lemongrass tea whenever I visit Thailand. But at home, I like to add a touch of mint to invigorate my mind. Try this version & I’m sure you’ll like it too! Let the lemongrass scent envelope your home & send you reeling to a spa!

Prep time: Thailand Thai
Cook time: Servings: 1 Jug

Ingredients

  • 4 stalks of Lemongrass
  • 1 sprig Mint leaves
  • 4 tbsp Sugar or Honey
  • 1.5 lit Water

Directions

  1. Cut off both ends of lemongrass. Rinse & slice it diagonally, about 3” lengthwise & smash it.
  2. Boil water in pot & throw in lemon grass. Simmer for about 30 mins.
  3. Turn off fire. Add sugar/honey & mint. Cover the lid & let it infuse for about 5 mins.
  4. When tea is cooled, pour some tea into an ice-cube tray. Add 1 mint leaf in each cube. Freeze.
  5. Transfer the rest of the tea into a jug & refrigerate. Remove ice just before serving & pour the chilled tea into serving glass.
  6. Tips:
  7. When you use the tea instead of water to make ice cubes, your tea will not be diluted when serving. These ice cubes will also make the tea look pretty.
  8. Put on a face mask while the tea is simmering. Relax on a sofa with your eyes closed & inhale the lemongrass to relax you mind.
