Thank you for this video! I purchased a lemongrass plant this spring and planted in a large pot. She’s looking a little wild so I’m going to try to cut and preserve some of her leaves.
That’s wonderful! Thanks so much for your kind words. I am so glad it helped.
I boil my left overs on a pot for natural air 💚 freshener it’ll make home smell amazing you’ll thank me later.
In Philippines we love using this herb with chicken boil comfort food, my mom use to make when I’m feeling a little under the weather
That’s such a brilliant idea! I can attest to that every time I make chai, it smells divine.

Awww thanks so much for the kind words. This means so much to me. I really appreciate it.
I will plant it because I had tried the tea before but currently do not have the plant, thank you for all the information!
Your welcome. So glad you found it helpful. Have you tried propagating it from the organic kemongrass in stores? It works really well and quickly in water.

Hey thanks so much for this video! I had a question. I tried storing lemongrass after drying them in the sun for 2-3 days, as you've shared. Once, I stored them for a couple of days I could see some black fungal growth on them. Could you suggest some workaround or if you've faced anything like this?
Thanks so much for your kind words. It looks like it wasn’t dry enough. Did the lemongrass leaves snap when broken? It was either the lemongrass itself or the container that had moisture and caused the fungus. The only way to prevent it would be to dry the lemongrass thoroughly and then pack it in a dry sterilized container. There is not much you can do once it has fungus and it will need to be discarded.
Thanks for sharing ❤ from fiji
Your welcome! Thanks so much for your kind words.
Hi there, I have a new big lemongrass plant and this is good to know for harvesting and drying. I am hoping you already have the lemongrass chai recipe?? would be happy for a quick note here, don't need a video! thank you

Hi Belita, here you go. Hope you make and love it. Let me know what you think: czcams.com/video/0RIUq6u0Ku4/video.html
Super ❤
Thank you!
If we need to wear gloves when cutting it.. Why do we see you wrapping it for storing with no gloves? Did you do something first to remove the prickles
That’s a great question and I would recommend having gloves while wrapping it too. I just cannot wrap the leaves with gloves on because I find them too cumbersome. I did get 2 cuts though. Lol 😂
Also, there is no way to remove the sharpness as the edge of the leaf is sharp
@@AmritaBhortake thank you
Can I use microwave oven to pasteurize LG? Or I must have baking oven?
Yes, it is possible to use a microwave oven if the temperature can be set to a low limit. I would definitely recommend keeping an eye on it and testing out a little bit of lemongrass before making the whole batch because you can burn the lemongrass if the temperature is too hot.
Would love the chai tea recipy
I will definitely make a video soon on this chai recipe, Michele

Do you use this same pasteurization method and temperature for other medicinal herbs/flowers as well? A similar thing happened to me with a caterpillar in my plantain 😂
Hahahaha omg! So it's not just me 😂
Yes, I used the same pasteurization method on my oregano, lavender, and calendula. It works really well.
I wonder if it can be freeze dried?!
I think it could be but I haven’t tried it out yet
I’m interested in your lemongrass ginger chai tea please.
Thanks so much, Teresa. I am definitely working on the video for it and it’s coming soon

How can I get LARGE Lemongrass so it's the size the Restaurants use in their recipes? My plant only seems to produce these skinny stalks.
Are you fertilizing it? I fertilize mine twice a year with a slow release organic fertilizer and then intermittently with a foliar spray of kelp.
Did you post the recipe for Lemongrass Chai? I looked at several videos after …did I miss it??
No, you haven’t missed it. Initially, I wasn’t sure how many people would be interested and then it just slipped through the summer craziness. I would definitely post it soon. I am so happy you asked for it. ☺️

Can someone let me know how much dry lemongrass to put when making chai? For one cup
If you are using dried lemongrass, you can use 1/2 tbsp for 1 cup. Here is a detailed recipe video if you would like to check it out. I have also included 2 additional lemongrass tea recipes in it too. czcams.com/video/0RIUq6u0Ku4/video.html
Can it be blended in a blender after u dried it?
Absolutely! It can be easily blended to make it into a powder if you use it that way. I usually use in my teas especially my ginger lemongrass chai so I prefer it a little larger so it is easier to filter out. How do you use in powder form?

I ordered some deeds to see if I can grow the lemon grass 😂
Thank you so much
@@AmritaBhortake
My lemon grass plant become Dry???? What will I do????
I would recommend looking at the soil condition. Is it too dry? too wet? Do you see any visible signs of disease?
@@AmritaBhortake it's wet.
@manomaym7144 it might be overwatered and the roots might have rotted. You can take the plant out of the soil and clean it. See if it is alive and if so, plant it in new soil. If the roots are decomposed, it might not make it. Try it out and I hope it helps.
@@AmritaBhortake Thankyou so much for your valuable suggestions. 🙏🙏🙏🙏Now I am checking it. 👍
@manomaym7144 hope it helps!
Thanks for saying chai and not tea 😊
Hahaha I feel that way too! It’s chai not chai tea.
