Herbal Lemongrass Tea Recipe


Lemongrass tea is one of the herbal teas the Food Forest Kitchen serves for free to our guests. A fresh, healthy tea which can be served hot or cold. In Thailand it is called Nahm Takray. We get the lemongrass for the tea from our own gardens of course. You can find the lemongrass growing near the restaurant of Eco-Logic and near the school of the Thai Child Development Foundation. More information about the lemongrass plant can be found here.
