I enjoyed this today for my mid morning break. The first cup was without honey and then second had just a little added. I have to say I like mine plain. I will try to re-brew the lemongrass again to see how many times I can re use it. Made for ZWT - Africa -
What a lovely subtle tea. The smell in the kitchen was so soft and delicate, it tickled the taste buds. I really enjoyed this citrus tea with a little honey. It helped the lemon flavor come through even more. Thanks for sharing your recipe Coasty. Made for ZWT7 for the Witchin Kitchen
