Lemongrass & Ginger

Sipdown

July Sipdown Challenge Prompt – an herbal tisane

This has added such lovely lemony flavor to plain decaf iced tea this summer. It was nice to have it jazzed up for a while! So nice that I have purchased some lemongrass to add to ginger and replicate it!

I have had this hot and plain, iced with sugar, and mixed with sweet black tea. It was tasty every way I had it.

Thanks again to Martin for sending it!

I bought a set Colours of Ceylon to my brother maybe an year ago and he brought them to the work. Sadly, I wasn’t able to visit him in the office for a whole year, but now their office is being under renewal, so he brought the box back home.

So I finally have a chance to try at least some from this set! Yay!

He has decided to brew this tea as an afternoon-evening tea for a family. So, family pot, unknown amount of blend, unknown brewing time.

But turned out delicious. First of all, it is not that brown as pictured (btw, I like the pic because it shows container, blend itself and liquor), but rather on the green side. Maybe the lightest green on the container.

It is pretty much lemongrass forward, however there is a little fiery ginger in aftertaste. Smooth and lightly lemony… from the lemongrass. Doesn’t taste medicinal nor herbal. It is amazing combination of two simple ingredients. And it’s just blended just right. It doesn’t need any base tea at all.
