Detox Bible – Day 4 – Ginger, lemongrass & clove Tea

Recipe from the book : 

When I tried this tea, I was in love all over again.

Ingredients:

 

A thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger

1 stick of lemongrass, roughly chopped

Grated zest & juice of 1 lemon

1 tsp runny honey

1 clove

Procedure: 

1. Put the ginger, lemongrass and lemon zest & juice in a blender and blitz to a rough paste.

2. Transfer the paste to a medium-sized saucepan and add the honey, clove and 400ml water. Bring to boil and leave to simmer for 5 mins.

3. Strain through a sieve or tea strainer into heatproof glasses and serve hot

My Inputs: 

• I used Maple syrup instead of honey once I turned off the gas after the boil.
• I used dry lemongrass and it worked just right.
• It really doesn’t take any time at all.
• It feels like drinking into fresh heaven!
• You can skip the blender step and simply crush it all the traditional way & bring it to boil.
• DO NOT ADD MILK !
