Benefits of Chamomile and Lemongrass Tea
Before we start, here's why this combination is so beneficial:
Chamomile: This herb is known for its calming and sleep-inducing properties. It is a natural remedy for stress and anxiety.
Lemongrass: A fragrant herb with a citrusy scent, lemongrass helps to digest and increases relaxation.
They are a powerhouse herbal tea, perfect for soothing the mind and body when taken together.
Ingredients You’ll Need :
- 1 Akshar Chamomile Tea Bag (available for purchase)
- 1 teaspoon Akshar Lemongrass Loose Leaf (available for purchase)
- 1 cup of hot water (around 200°F or 93°C)
- Honey or stevia (optional for sweetness)
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional for extra warmth and spice)
- A few fresh mint leaves (optional for added freshness)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Boil Water: Begin by bringing 1 cup of water to a near-boil (around 200°F or 93°C). This is the perfect temperature to extract the delicate flavors from the herbs.
- Add the Tea: Place your Akshar Chamomile Tea Bag and the Akshar Lemongrass Loose Leaf into a teapot or mug. You can use a tea infuser for the loose leaves or simply add them directly and strain later.
- Steep: Pour the hot water over the herbs and let it steep for 5-7 minutes. The longer it steeps, the more pronounced the flavors of chamomile and lemongrass will be.
- Sweeten (Optional): After steeping, remove the tea bag and strain the loose leaf. Add honey, stevia, or your favorite sweetener to taste. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or add a few fresh mint leaves for additional flavor and freshness.
