Lemongrass Iced “Tea” with Wild Honey

Connie Veneracion
The word "tea" is enclosed in quotes for a reason. There is no Camellia sinensis in this drink. It's an infusion or what the French call a tisane.
The drink is made with fresh lemongrass stalks that were boiled, allowed to infuse then cooled. Then, I added honey, slices of lemon and orange, and ice.
The lemon and orange slices aren’t merely ornamental. The juices and aroma get mixed with the liquid.
