A Tea to Rest

For as long as I can remember I have been a fan of natural infusions, I can say that I have tried from the most complex to the simplest, but without a doubt my taste for the traditional makes the difference. In these days where the rains have lashed firmly and temperatures have been unusually low, a strange virus seems to be sickening many people in my community and honestly it is from this morning I had felt a little afflicted, that is why I decided to follow my mom's advice and I prepared as the last drink of the day a delicious lemongrass tea with lemon Creole, a simple combination, but whose result is powerful and transcendental.

To prepare a tea, is to delight with a conjunction of aromas and finally flavors, since when working with 100% natural elements, we can enjoy multiple benefits. In this opportunity we begin the preparation of this infusion our stove a pot to which we will add the cup of water, then we will introduce the lemon grass leaves and with a lot of patience we will wait until the water enters the boiling point, to later let it boil for a few seconds.

We will notice that the water has acquired a dark color, this is synonymous that all the elements and benefits of lemongrass are now perfectly integrated into the water. Next, we take the lemons and cut them in half, very carefully, and with the help of a knife we can remove all the seeds, and then squeeze it manually into a cup.

Then we take the pot and pour all the liquid into the cup in which we place the lemon juice, add about three tablespoons of sugar and shake gently. In this way we will be mixing all the elements of our me, while we instantly begin to perceive a citrus scent that is charming, as it alone is able to decongest our airways and cover the whole house with a nice touch.

This type of tea contains many properties, but it is traditionally associated with an ideal preparation to fight the cold or flu virus. On this occasion I have decided to consume it before going to bed, in order to spend a quiet night with a warm body, since lately and unusually, the cold is becoming present when the evening falls.
