- Enjoy Ginger & Lemongrass Tea on its own or with your favourite snack. My favourite is to dunk buttered bread in it.
Notes
- Use fresh mint or holy basil (tulsi) instead of lemongrass.
- Use a sweetener of your choice, white sugar, brown sugar, honey or maple syrup.
- Can enjoy this flavourful and healthy tea without milk. Can add lemon or orange juice if you wish.
- Add some whisky and cinnamon instead of milk. Enjoy a hot toddy.
- Best to use fresh ginger, but if you don't have any then use ginger powder.
