Lemongrass Tea

One of the toughest things (for me) on this Paleo Challenge has been coming up with things to drink.... of course there's the obligatory commuter mug of coffee in the mornings, but then what?  Water gets a little boring.  I used to add a package of Crystal Light to my water during the day - and then of course there was the wine at night.  But Crystal Light has sugar (or some sugar substitute) in it, so that's out.  And the wine... yeah, I already told you about that one.
So I dug through my Primal Blueprint cookbooks and found Lemongrass Tea.  So easy - and very refreshing!

Lemongrass Tea
4 cups of water
2 'sticks' of lemongrass
mint for garnish

Cut off the ends of the lemongrass [I also sliced them lengthwise to help release more flavor] and then smash them with the flat side of your knife. Put the water into a saucepan and toss in the lemongrass.  Bring to a boil - once boiling, turn off the heat, put on a lid, and then 'steep' for 20 minutes.  Drink hot, or once it's cooled down a bit, transfer to a pitcher (discarding the lemongrass) and store in the fridge.  Garnish with some mint leaves if you like.
