Ingredients
3 stalks Lemongrass stalks
6 bags Mint tea bags
¼ cup Honey
4 cups Water
Ice cubes
Fresh lemongrass stalks for garnish (optional)
Directions
Rinse the 3 lemongrass stalks under cool water and trim away the dry, papery outer layers. Cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces and lightly crush them with the side of a knife to release their aromatic oils.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the crushed lemongrass pieces and remove from heat.
Add the 6 mint tea bags to the hot lemongrass water and let steep for 8–10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, discarding the lemongrass pieces and tea bags.
Stir in the 1/4 cup honey until completely dissolved.
Refrigerate the tea for at least 5 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemongrass-mint tea over the ice. Garnish with fresh lemongrass stalks if desired and serve immediately.
