Lemongrass, Fresh Turmeric and Apple Water

Why people make this water

The lemongrass at Southeast-Asian grocers is especially plump and fragrant, and the fresh turmeric especially good. This lemongrass is a wonderful cooking ingredient, and is traditionally said to ease body aches and support the body’s defenses. Simmered with fresh turmeric and apple, it makes a warming drink traditionally used to dispel wind-cold and resolve damp — a nice choice for indigestion and wind-damp aches, especially knee pain and discomfort from cold-damp.
