You just break off a big handfull of it, fold it over itself a couple of times to reduce the length and then grip it firmly and 'twist' it which breaks it open and releases a heavenly scent. Boil it up in a kettle of water. When it cools enough, add a bit of honey and the 'secret' my dad showed me is if you add a few drops of fresh lime juice (or lemon but lime is better) it changes colour (tastes awesome too). Hey presto.

But you want to drink at least 8 cups a day if you have cancer for it to really take full effect.

Thanks...because I had no idea how to prepare it. and do health food stores carry it fresh? Don't answer that..I will check it out...maybe the Chinese market, like Oldpagenfreak said...Thanks again

Wow eight cups a day you'll be going to the bathroom often...lol. Thanks for that info.

Can you drink it cold for the same effect?

Yep. Cold is fine. make up a big batch in the morning and it will last all day.

I highly recommend using fresh stuff though.. it still has the life-force vitality within it. I don't know how good dried packaged stuff would be. If you have a mini greenhouse in your backyard would be ideal for those cooler areas.

I'll have to try the indoor method I'm in a cold climate with a short growing season. Hmmm I bet you could flash freeze it fresh and vacuum seal it and keep it frozen if you had no other way to keep it year round.

Yep..that probably woud be good if you cannot get it fresh all year round.
But Luminari is right..the life force of any food is always best when fresh

My brother is a wiccan and he often makes teas out of exotic ingredients. I will go with him the next he goes to the herbal shop. I am positive that they sell lemongrass and they get herbs from all over the world. I have had tea with lemongrass in it but it was not fresh. Still had a great aroma and it was minimally processed.
