[@pierrechery7101]

Great video thank you for sharing ❤ After some experiments with the recipes here’s my favorite outcomes if anyone wants to try them. first is the chai tea recipe!! I add cinnamon, a bit of nutmeg, vanilla extract, and honey and I don’t use water I start with milk and simmer everything on very low fire for bout 25 minutes and it’s 20/10‼️‼️‼️ my absolute favorite tea to be make My second favorite is mixing the lemongrass lemon tea with ginger, mint, sometimes I add thyme or lemon balm u can also add a piece of lime peel at the end not to much so it doesn’t become bitter just let it steep in the tea for 3 minutes b4 serving that’s my winter special it warms up my insides like a shot of whiskey I say 10/10🔥🔥🔥🔥

I tried all three! Delicious! The lemongrass ginger is my fav! But I love all of them, and I've incorporated them all into my regular diet. Cheers!

Good morning. Thank you for all that information about lemongrass tea. How sweet to have your mom with you for tasting and rating the teas. Question ❓ I'm a cancer patient in remission. What lemon grass tea would be best for me? My recipe for my family with lemongrass, I make a gallon of tea with a little sugar, about a heaping tablespoon of frozen orange juice and my family members love it. I don't drink it bc they like caffeine and I don't use caffeine. Thanks for your wonderful video ❤

Thank you for the recipes! Is is possible to make the lemongrass ginger chai with green tea instead of black tea?

[@AmritaBhortake]

Hi Lynne, your welcome. I have never tried making it with green tea because to make chai, you will need to boil the tea leaves and green tea usually cannot handle the higher temperatures like black tea. The amount of time you steep a green tea is also shorter usually 1-2 minutes otherwise it gets bitter so that is one of my concern in making chai with it. I will need to test out the recipe to see if it works but I have my doubts.

[@debbiebayamdillon8969]

I would think boil everything without the green tea. Then add the green tea and steep.

[@AmritaBhortake]

@@debbiebayamdillon8969 yes! Debbie, that’s a great idea. Lynne, let me know how it tastes if you try it out

[@debbiebayamdillon8969]

You told how much FRESH lemongrass to use in each of these delicious tea recipes. If we dry the lemongrass to preserve, how much less dried lemongrass do we use? Thank you!

[@AmritaBhortake]

@@debbiebayamdillon8969 Hi Debbie, I would use 1 tsp dried to 1 tbsp fresh ratio. Hope that helps.

[@dollyperry3020]

How would this recipe chains if you only have dried lemongrass?

[@AmritaBhortake]

If you are using dried lemongrass, I would reduce the amount. For example, if the recipe calls for 1tbsp fresh lemongrass then I would use about 1- 1 1/2 tsp dried lemongrass. Hope that helps.
