Lemongrass and Green Apple Tea

Why people make this tea

Lemongrass — known in Chinese as xiang mao (fragrant grass) because of its bright lemon scent — has long been used across Southeast and East Asia as a warming, circulation-moving drink. Green apple adds natural sweetness and a pleasant tartness, and the two together create a tea that is genuinely enjoyable: warming to the stomach, smooth on the throat, and aromatic enough to brighten up an afternoon. Nourilo came across an old wellness claim about this combination supporting knee cartilage and decided to simply try it — he found the flavour delightful and the effect gentle but real. Whether or not the cartilage claim holds up, it is a good-tasting everyday drink with sensible traditional backing.
