Lemongrass is an herb grass with a strong citrus flavour and aroma. It grows in many sub-tropical regions including Southeast Asia through India, Africa, Australica, and parts of South America.
One of our favourite uses of this herb is adding it to tea. It goes well with almost all herbs and is great when steeped all on its own. This herb dries out and seems to lose its flavour quickly, so be sure to smash and grind the herb just before use - it will make the flavours and aromas come out. Try adding a touch towards the end of cooking where hot, sour, or salty flavours are threatening to overwhelm a dish.
