I'm cutting down on my coffee and I've been experimenting with making a hot drink for myself using lemongrass as the main flavour. So far I've added small slices of ginger root with the lemongrass to change it up. It took me a few tries to find the right amount as the ginger tended to overpower the lemongrass.
I'm also trying mint leaves, which I like, but again the right amount is tricky or it overpowers the lemongrass.
What I'm looking for at the moment is a herb or root to give it a bit sweeter flavour for when I drink it cold.
Any suggestions?
Don't you like lemongrass alone?
Its cultural for me to drink lemongrass tea for digestion benefits. Like after a heavy meal.
I have three plants growing right now. I'm not sure if it's TRUE, but I have read that it also repels mosquitoes.
.... hummmm.... do you even have mosquitoes in Canada? ??
