Description
I'm totally in love with lemongrass. I purchased a little 4 dollar plant at my local plant nursery and in just 2 years, it's grown into quit a substantial plant. It has even survived many winter freezes. Adapted from the lemongrass, mint, and ginger iced tea recipe from the novel, sweet life, by mia king.
