Lemon Grass and Mint Tea
by Tarla Dalal

Summer, winter or monsoon, this is one tea that is sure to pep you up even on the most trying days!

The whiffs of lemongrass and mint that escape the kettle promise your taste buds an exciting time ahead, and you will surely not be let down by this spicy, milky tea, which is full of intense flavours and aromas.

Make sure you have this refreshing Lemon Grass and Mint Tea fresh and hot, as reheating it will lead to a loss of flavour and sometimes even a little bitterness. The herby accents are best enjoyed fresh!

I have not tried the lemongrass mint recipe yet but I’m curious to know where I can find the cups that you have the tea displayed in. They are beautiful.

These are called kulhad / kulhar and they are available in different shapes and sizes in local markets and also on amazon.

I actually have not tried this recipe, but what I want to know is can I dry it and put it in a jar and that would be the lemongrass and mint cardamon sugar and store it for later?

Hi Nita, We have not tried doing that.
