Hot Tea: A Steamy Love Story
By Grace O

Lemon-grass, a plant native to India, looks like stiff grass stalks but smells a bit like lemon. In this recipe, you use the tough green parts of the herb along with the more edible white portion of the stalks, because you will only steep the plant.

Lemon-grass can be found at Melissas.com and at Indian markets and Asian markets. Get The Recipe
