Let's make tanglad tea! For you Thai food aficionados, that's lemongrass tea!
So off I went to the market and bought some tanglad leaves. And here's a photo essay on how to make some:

Wash leaves. You can steep it in white vinegar if you like.

Boil leaves for 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Then steep for 5 to 15 minutes. It depends on how strong you want the tea.

Easy! Vince loves lemongrass tea. I should always remember to make pitchers of this! I strongly recommend that you brew this tea for your family, too. With all the health benefits, this is one refreshing drink you and your family will most definitely enjoy.
