Lemongrass Tea!

This weekend I decided to look into harvesting some of the lemongrass growing in our yard, in total we have 5 (3 of which are rather large) bunches growing strong! I knew I could make lemongrass tea, hot or cold (I fell in love with the cold lemongrass tea we were served on our honeymoon to Bali) so I googled "harvesting lemongrass" and came across this delightful blog, More than Salt & Pepper (which is worth checking out if you like cooking).
My steps are documented in the pictures below (which was an afterthought...I wish my pictures looked as good as my inspiration blog).
I had my first cup of hot lemongrass tea last night to soothe the sore throat I was developing and I'm happy to say it's delicious! I should also include that lemongrass is known for its many healing benefits, if you want to read more on that, click here. 
I hope to bring some of these lemongrass bunches to the US next summer!

Here's 3 of the Lemongrass bunches in a row.

The largest one...this was taken after I clipped the lemongrass for my tea, still plenty to harvest!

In the process, after I washed and dried the stems, I started wrapping them.

Laying out to dry on the porch off of our bedroom. In total I made 23 bunches, which makes just as many pots of tea.
