Lemongrass Tea

Dietitian's Corner:

As a dietitian, I love making our own teas because it tastes better with our fresh, organic ingredients and we get more antioxidants because our plants are picked at optimal times. Another benefit is that we avoid potential micro plastics found in many tea bags produced commercially. Microplastics have been shown to increase the risk of infertility and cancers in animal studies.
