Lemon Grass & Chamomile Cooler
Spring 2016
Dried lemon grass has a woody texture that is not suitable for eating but, once soaked, the flavours will seep out, making it a great ingredient for tea. We love this soothing combination with or without the vodka, and it can be kept in the fridge for quick mixing.
