Tea Tuesday

After a week of cloudy skies and rain, the sun came out today!
And I've decided to brew some lemon grass tea.

Here's what you need:


Ingredients:
Fresh lemon grass (you may find this in the frozen section in the Asian supermarket).
In the picture above, I've included dried lemon grass bits as you may use either or a combo.
honey or rock sugar/sugar.

Method:
Boil water
Put in the fresh lemon grass
(gently bruise the stalk with the blunt end of the knife to release its fragrance)
and/or the dried lemon grass bits
Add sugar
Turn down the fire after about 10-15 minutes of boiling
when it's cool, keep the mixture in the fridge
If you are adding honey, mix it in when it's cold

It's been awhile since I last been to the garden...

there's a sense of "calmness" here..

and the birds are singing...

perched on these Manila palms....

the plumerias are blooming....

and its fragrance just fills the air.....

peace...


Happy Tea Tuesday to Kimmie and
