Lemongrass is prized for its healthful properties and strong, aromatic fragrance, similar to lemon zest but with a more savory, floral profile. Lemongrass has a distinct citrus flavor that is softer and less bitter than a lemon, and with a hint of a rose aroma. It contains a phytochemical called citronellol, which is why the herb is also known as citronella grass. It is commonly used to add citrus flavor to Asian stir-fry, soups, stews, vegetables, fish and poultry. In India, lemongrass is often used as an ingredient in a specialty herbal coffee called chukku kaapi. This beverage is also considered a traditional Kashayam, an Ayurvedic tonic that typically includes holy basil (Tulsi), black pepper and ginger.
Lemongrass tea has a refreshing citrus aroma and a naturally bright, uplifting flavor. Lemongrass contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including citral, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. Enjoy lemongrass tea as a flavorful herbal beverage, whether served hot or chilled.
