Notes
- You can use green tea bags or leaves to make the green tea. The tea doesn’t have to be fancy or strong. A decent green tea bag is fine.
- In place of sugar you could use palm sugar or honey.
- The lemon grass must be fresh in order for it to season the drink well.
- Sometimes I like to garnish it with a little Schiuan pepper for a bit of heat.
