A very nice lemony tea that I much enjoyed! Thanks! Made for the I Recommend Game. -
This works! Terribly rough week at work has left my poor system doing somersaults. Sitting back with a comforting cup tea was not only soothing, I felt much better as well. Lemongrass has such a distinct flavor - a little citrus, a little grassy and a little spicy - so this very simple tea still has great flavor. Sweetened mine with z-Sweet and organic sugar replacement, but think honey might work beautifully here. Thanks! -
My standard lemongrass tea recipe :) Works well and a very refreshing drink.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
