You'll need

1 tea bag of Tropical Sun Lemongrass
250ml freshly boiled water (100C)
Honey, optional, to taste
A slice of lemon, optional

Method

Pop the lemongrass bag in your favourite mug.
Pour over the freshly boiled water and leave to steep for 4 to 5 minutes.
Lift out the bag without squeezing it, so the cup stays bright rather than dull.
Taste, and add a little honey or a slice of lemon if you like.
Sip hot and enjoy the fresh, lemony lift.
Warm the mug first with a splash of boiling water before steeping; lemongrass is delicate and a cold mug noticeably dulls its bright, citrus character.

What you'll end up with: A bright, caffeine free cup, lemony and gently grassy, exactly as lemongrass should taste.
