How to Make Lemongrass & Ginger Tea, Hot or Iced
Bright, citrusy lemongrass meets the warmth of real ginger root, strong enough to stand on its own, hot or iced, in any season.
To make lemongrass and ginger tea, steep 1 heaped teaspoon of loose leaf blend in 250 to 300 ml of freshly boiled water for 5 minutes, then strain and drink it plain. For iced tea, brew it the same way, cool it and pour it over ice with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.
What you'll need

| Loose leaf tea | Organic Lemongrass & Ginger | Just two organic ingredients, lemongrass and ginger root |
| Water | Freshly boiled | 250-300 ml per cup |
| Equipment | Teapot or infuser, and a strainer | A tea strainer works well |
| For iced tea | Lemon slice and a sprig of mint | Plus a glass full of ice |
The two methods at a glance
| Method | Leaf | Water | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Hot and simple | 1 heaped tsp (or 1 tbsp for stronger) | 250-300 ml, freshly boiled | 5 min |
| 2. Chilled and refreshing | 1 heaped tsp per cup | 250-300 ml, freshly boiled | 5 min + cooling |
Two ways to brew it
Hot and simple 5 minutes
No milk needed:
- Add 1 heaped teaspoon of the blend to a teapot or infuser, or 1 tablespoon for a stronger cup.
- Pour over 250 to 300 ml of freshly boiled water.
- Infuse for 5 minutes, strain, and drink plain.
Chilled and refreshing 5 minutes plus cooling
Perfect over ice:
- Brew as in Method 1: 1 heaped teaspoon per 250 to 300 ml of boiling water, infused for 5 minutes.
- Strain and cool to room temperature. To cool faster, brew double-strength using half the water.
- Pour over a glass full of ice and add a lemon slice and a sprig of mint.
Melting ice dilutes the tea, so a stronger brew keeps the flavour from fading.
Tips for a better cup
Want more ginger heat?
Add a minute or two of steeping. Ginger keeps developing past 5 minutes, while lemongrass mostly does not.
Brewing a batch?
Make a large pot, strain it right away to avoid over-steeping, and refrigerate it for iced tea later.
Any time of day.
The blend contains no tea leaf, so it is naturally caffeine-free.
