GINGER AND LEMONGRASS ICED GREEN TEA
I'm totally in love with lemongrass. I purchased a little 4 dollar plant at my local plant nursery and in just 2 years, it's grown into quit a substantial plant. It has even survived many winter freezes. Adapted from the Lemongrass, Mint, and Ginger Iced Tea recipe from the novel, Sweet Life, by Mia King.
