Cooling Herbal Tisane [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Ingredients

• 3 stalks lemongrass, sliced into rounds
• 1 1/2 teaspoons whole green cardamom pods (about 18-20)

Preparation

1. With a mortar and pestle (or the butt end of a kitchen knife and a bowl or cutting board), gently bruise/crush the lemongrass, cardamom, and fennel seeds.
2. Add them to the quart jar along with the remaining ingredients. Pour just enough hot water (not boiling water) in the jar to cover the herbs and spices. Let the mixture steep for 3-5 minutes, then fill the remaining space in the jar with cool water.
3. Cover, then park the jar in the refrigerator to steep for at least 4 hours. Strain before serving. Makes about 3 1/2 cups. Sweeten to taste.
