Brew homemade lemongrass tea with ginger and enjoy a cold, refreshing drink for the summer. Making iced tea in your Instant Pot or pressure cooker has never been easier, or more delicious.
What Makes Keto Tea So Great
- Lemongrass . If you’ve been growing lemongrass in your backyard, or if you have been eying it in the grocery store wondering how to use lemongrass, it’s time to learn how to make some delicious lemongrass tea in your Instant Pot . This might very well be the best combination of ginger and lemongrass out there.
- Simple. So unlike my other beverage recipes where I’m super precise about ingredients to help you out, this one is a very forgiving recipe. There really isn’t any need to measure out the lemongrass plant or ginger exactly. Just 5 simple ingredients and you’ve got some delicious and refreshing tea.
- Quick. You can have this simple and delicious low carb drink done in less than 30 minutes .
Where To Buy Lemongrass
Many grocery stores sell lemongrass to use in this Lemongrass Tea and many other delicious dishes. It is generally found with fresh produce, but you may also have luck finding it in the frozen food section.
If you’re having trouble finding lemongrass at your local grocery store, you may have better luck checking an Asian market.
How to Make Lemongrass Tea
- Pick. I went out to my yard and picked some lemongrass leaves. Like about so many.
- Slice. Then, I sliced a few slices of fresh ginger..
- Cook. I put all this into an Instant Pot , added about 6 cups of water, 4 teaspoons Truvia , and then I cooked it at high pressure for 2 minutes.
- Cool. When it was done, I let it cool, and then added lemon juice to taste. I prefer to add this to cold tea so as to not “cook” the lemon juice, which changes its flavor.
- Serve. I served it over ice.
Why Make Lemongrass Tea In The Instant Pot?
I have spoken about the benefits of making Iced Tea in your Instant Pot . In a nutshell, the benefits of brewing tea in your pressure cooker are:
- Less bitter, but more robust flavor since the water gets “superheated” under pressure.
- Very little babysitting required.
- No worrying about the tea boiling over.
- Ability to make a tea concentrate, and then dilute as you go. Takes up less space in the fridge.
How To Use Lemongrass
You are probably more familiar with lemongrass stalks, which are often sold in the grocery store. We typically use lemongrass stalks to make Thai-style curries .
Lemongrass leaves are used in many parts of the world to make a hot tea that is considered very beneficial and very cooling during warm summer months.
What Does Lemon Grass Taste Like?
It’s an herby, citrusy, lemony, aromatic, smooth flavor that I just absolutely love. It’s honestly just like sunshine in a cup.
What Is Lemongrass Tea Good For?
You can find a lot of articles online talking about the health benefits of Lemongrass. I personally do not cite studies unless they are double-blind, controlled, longitudinal studies with random or near-random assignment (occupational hazard after getting a doctorate in experimental psychology, but still best practice).
So I don’t know if it does indeed help with anxiety, weight loss, blood pressure and all those magical things.
I just know it tastes good, and that’s good enough for me!
What Is The Best Time To Drink Lemongrass Tea?
Lemongrass Tea is great for helping with digestion. For this reason, I find it to have the most health benefit when drinking right after a meal.
However, this Keto tea is so delicious, you may find yourself reaching for it more often because of how cool and refreshing it is.
Tips and Tricks for Making Iced Lemongrass Tea
- Don’t be afraid to use approximations for the amount of lemongrass, the amount of ginger, and the sweetener. Taste, taste, taste and adjust as needed.
- Allow the tea to cool before adding lemon juice so as to not “cook” the lemon juice.
- You can drink this tea hot as well. In this case of course, you will add the lemon juice to hot tea.
- Do NOT add fresh lemons or oranges into the pot to brew. I’ve tried that and it is sooo bitter you will end up wasting an entire pot of good tea.
- You can use honey to sweeten this tea for a different flavor.
- Try throwing in a bag or two of green tea into the pot for a change.
- I do not know how this will work with lemongrass stalks. If you try that, be sure to come into my Twosleevers Facebook group and let us know how it worked for you!
- When you’re ready to serve the tea, fill an 8 oz glass with ice. Pour the chilled tea over it and serve.
