In Nigeria, a popular herbal tea known as Ewe Tea, or Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), has been a basic thing in many households because of its numerous health benefits and versatility. Lemongrass is mostly used to make medicinal drinks, mixed with other herbs, and usually consumed alone as a tea. It serves many purposes and can be combined with other ingredients in food and drinks.
However, I would like to share and talk about a unique and flavorful combination: Lemongrass and Lipton Tea. Have you ever tried this combination? The mixture of these two ingredients creates an aromatic, flavorful tea with a savoury scent. Besides its pleasant taste and scent, this combination offers numerous health benefits, as it helps boost digestion and metabolism, reducing stress and anxiety, and strengthening the immune system.
The combination of Lemongrass and Lipton Tea is a perfect and balanced blend that gives a unique and refreshing taste. With the fresh and herbal flavour of Lemongrass complementing the strong and slightly bitter taste of Lipton Tea, it creates a healthy and soothing beverage.
After boiling the two together, one can enjoy it according to one’s taste. Some people may prefer it plain, while others may prefer adding sweeteners like sugar or honey. I would recommend adding sugar and enough milk to this combo, as it gives a delicious, soothing, and aromatic taste and feeling! It is an excellent choice for a refreshing tea and if you haven’t tried this combo before, I encourage you to give it a shot.
