If you thought cold-brew coffee was the definition of delayed gratification, you need to grow your own tea. When I was in Coleman prison in Florida, the pharmacist Jude introduced me to lemongrass tea. He had bushes of it at his house. He would cut off a large handful each morning and put it in a thermos of boiling water. In a few hours he would open the thermos and the room would smell devine. The most amazing tea I have ever had.
Go to your local asian grocery store to get large lemongrass stalks with as much root ball as possible.
Soak in water and put in peat moss – keep moist. Let the sun do it’s thing.
Wait….
Cut off 10 or so blades of grass, coil them up inside a thermos and fill with boiling water.
Let it steep for an hour or so.
If you are in a hurry you can boil them on a burner until you see it change color.
