8-10 cups of water

Note! For more information on the recipe, follow the video below.
Give me some lemongrass (In the Caribbean it is called fever grass) laundry. Then you can chop it into pieces or tie it into a ring (to put it in the pot) Like I did.
Wash or scrape the ginger.
Add water and bring to a boil.
Simmer for 5 minutes and turn off the stove. Let this liquid steep for 3-4 minutes, then strain and enjoy.
You can sweeten it by adding sugar, honey, or your favorite sweetener in any amount you like.
