Spiced ginger lemongrass iced tea (Quarantine experiments!!)

Ingredients

• 2 leaves of lemongrass cut into 2-inch pieces
• lemon juice from one lemon
• ginger, crushed
• 2 cloves
• Cardamom
• Cinnamon sticks
• sugar
• Vanilla essence
• Teabags of choice
• Water
• Apple juice

Direction

1. According to the amount you would like to make and to your taste, put all these ingredients EXCEPT the apple juice into a saucepan together.
2. Bring to a boil then let simmer for 10 minutes
3. Add your tea and let it steep for another 5 minutes till its concentrated but not bitter.
4. Let it cool, chill and serve with ice cubes and a little apple juice, extra lemon juice is optional for a tangier flavour.
5. ENJOY! (I hope)

Note: I have not specified exact measurements as it is extremely subjective and you can make the quantity and strength of flavour as per your choice.
