Lemongrass Tea {with ginger and lime}

I love lemongrass, but I hate throwing away all of those beautiful and fragrant stalks since only the heart is usable in most thai dishes. I’ve found that steeping those stalks in hot water is a great way to enjoy some mild tea—it also pairs perfectly with any thai or asian dish. It’s clean and simple and can easily be combined with other fruits and herbs. You can steep this in a saucepan on the stove and serve or place in a Bodum coffee press (pictured) to serve.
