1
Prepare the Lemongrass
Wash the fresh lemongrass stalks thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Cut off the root end and discard it. Slice the stalks into smaller pieces, about 2 inches in length, to help release their flavor during brewing.
2
Prepare the Ginger
Peel the fresh ginger root using a vegetable peeler or the edge of a spoon. Slice the ginger into thin rounds or small pieces to enhance the infusion of flavor in the tea.
3
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
4
Add Ingredients to Boiling Water
Once the water is boiling, add the chopped lemongrass and sliced ginger to the pot. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the water.
5
Steep the Tea
After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Add the green tea bags to the pot and let them steep for an additional 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength of tea.
6
Strain the Tea
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the tea into a teapot or a large pitcher to remove the lemongrass, ginger, and tea bags.

7
Add Honey
While the tea is still warm, stir in 2 tablespoons of honey until fully dissolved. Adjust the amount of honey to your taste preference.

8
Serve
Pour the lemongrass honey tea into cups. Optionally, garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint for added flavor and presentation.
