Lemongrass Iced Tea

Wash and chop about 5 stalks of fresh lemongrass, discarding the very bottoms of the stalks and any tired, dried husks.

Place in a saucepan with about 1 quart or more of water. Bring to a boil then simmer on low for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sugar or honey to taste. Cover and let tea cool to room temperature.

Strain and refrigerate. Excellent with all spicy foods and refreshing on its own as well.
