Healthy Drink: Lemongrass and Ginger Drink

Last two weeks, I had the chance to visit the Barai Spa at Hyatt Regency Huahin. I'm telling you...the place is awesome (and of course, pricey). All the Spa treatment rooms are uniquely decorated and equipped with outdoor jacuzzi bath and a rain shower.

By now you might be wondering why I mention all these great things about the Barai. Well, the thing is I was served with this very delicious and very healthy welcoming drink. From the taste, I believe the main ingredients are lemongrass and ginger. I love the drink so much that I did a lil experiment at home. And ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to present my version of "The Barai Welcoming Drink".
Ingredients:

3 Lemongrass, roughly diced

6 Slices of Old Ginger

1 Pandan Leave

Syrup

Directions:

1. Add the lemongrass to heated water. Bring to boil.

2. Add ginger and pandan leave. And boil for another 5 minutes.

3. Let the drink cool down, then add syrup to taste.

4. Chill the drink the fridge or serve it with ice.

Lemongrass are popular as an alternative to standard Western allopathic medicine for a variety of problems, including reducing fevers, stomach cramps and flatulence as well as general digestive aid.

Ginger are popular as an alternative to standard Western allopathic medicine for a variety of problems, including nausea, colds and flu, stomach upsets as well as helping circulation.

Note: Don't throw the residue away. There are more used to it.

Dry it, groud it and put in a teabag for tomorrow's afternoon tea or make a gift out of it.
