I’ve been craving lemongrass lately and thought I would try making a drink with just a drop of pure lemongrass essential oil* since I didn’t have any fresh lemongrass on hand and it’s not that easy to find where I live.
So I thought a combination of the lemongrass and some fresh ginger along with my coconut oil would be a delicious combination for my morning matcha….and it was!
Lemongrass Ginger Coconut Matcha Recipe In A Nutshell
- 8-10 oz boiling water
- 1 drop of PURE lemongrass essential oil
- 2 teaspoons of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- ½ -1 teaspoon of matcha tea
- sweetener to taste (I used some stevia)
Put everything in a high speed blend and whiz on high for a minute. Pour and drink in the aromatics in this drink and reap the health benefits!
Note: If you don’t have any PURE lemongrass essential oil you could always steep a piece of lemongrass in the water and use that instead. Make sure to take the lemongrass out of the water after you’ve steeped it.
Or you could try using a lemongrass powder, lemongrass spice or lemongrass tea to get the flavor.
Hope you enjoy! I get my matcha from Steeped Tea which if you are interested you can buy from my friend Debbie here. She also has a Facebook matcha challenge (which I am doing) so check out her page here.
