Instructions

Step 1: Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and add 4 green tea bags, 2-inch thinly sliced fresh ginger, and 2 bruised and chopped lemongrass stalks. Steep for 10 minutes until fragrant and infused.
Step 2: Remove tea bags, ginger, and lemongrass by straining the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher.
Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice while the tea is still warm to dissolve the honey fully.
Step 4: Refrigerate the tea until chilled, about 1 hour, then pour over 2 cups of ice cubes and serve immediately.
