Lemongrass Base
Prepare the Lemongrass
Trim the lemongrass stalks by removing the tough outer layers and cutting off the root ends and dry tops. Use the back of a knife to gently bruise the stalks to release their oils, then cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Simmer the Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the prepared lemongrass, water, and sliced ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes.
Strain and Flavor
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a teapot or pitcher. Stir in honey and lime juice if using, adjusting to taste.
Serve
Serve the lemongrass infusion hot as a soothing tea or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing drink.
