A refreshing and aromatic tea combining the zest of ginger and the subtle citrus notes of lemongrass.
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
Use filtered water for the best taste.
Add the gingerroot and lemongrass to the boiling water.
Crush the lemongrass slightly to release its aroma.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
Cover the saucepan to retain the flavors.
Turn off the heat and add the herbal tea.
Stir gently to ensure even steeping.
Let the tea steep for 5 minutes, then strain the mixture.
Adjust the steeping time based on your taste preference.
Sweeten with honey and add lemon juice to taste.
Taste as you go to balance the sweetness and acidity.
Serve the tea warm or chilled, garnished with a slice of lemon.
For a chilled version, pour over ice and enjoy.
