    "excerpt": "A smooth overnight cold brew of lemongrass with a crushed fresh stalk, slow-steeped in cold water and served over ice.",
    "content_text": "Lemongrass barely needs heat at all. Left in cold water overnight it turns clear, bright and faintly sweet, without the grassy edge a rushed hot brew can leave. Crushing a fresh stalk of lemongrass into the jug alongside the bags is the part that really earns its keep, deepening the flavour as it sits. The result is clean enough to drink straight over ice, no sugar required.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
