Fresh Lemon Grass Tea

Disclaimer: I am not saying that the fresh lemon grass tea that my son had for several days was the answer in him not having any wheezes due to asthma. It could be coincidental or it could have been really effective with him.

_______________________________________________________________________

I have written in one of my blogs about my son drinking warm lemon grass tea for several days now and that the asthma symptoms hasn’t been felt ever since he started drinking.

My youngest daughter had a slight fever yesterday and I asked her to drink the same tea preparation. After some time, her temperature had gone down.

Now I am sharing how this fresh lemon grass tea was prepared.

  • First boil water for the tea.
  • When the water has come to a rolling boil, turn off the heat.
  • Put in a long stalk/leaf of fresh lemon grass (cut into 3-4 pieces but this will depend on the size of the pot used for the water) and put these in the hot water.
  • Let the stalks/cut leaf stay in the water  for a few minutes.
  • Pour the tea in a cup.
  • Add a tablespoon (or two) of honey. Stir.
  • Drink the tea while it is still warm.

For a more wonderful aroma, put a stalk of Italian oregano together with the lemon grass.

    My sister told me about lemon grass tea and she gave me some. I loved the taste and started drinking this daily. I would like to know if this tea is good for anemic people? I heard that tea lessens the absorbtion of iron.
