Ever felt that post-meal heaviness after a delicious plate of jollof, swallow, or spicy stew? 🍛
Your stomach might be craving a gentle herbal helper — and lemongrass tea could be just the thing.
This light, citrus-scented herbal tea made from Dried Lemongrass Leaves is known for its refreshing aroma and digestive support.
Studies suggest that lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) contains citral — a compound that helps relax the gut and reduce bloating. While it’s not a medicine, it’s been trusted in many traditional diets for its soothing, stomach-friendly nature.
So if you’re ready to sip your way to a lighter, comfier feeling after meals, here are 14 simple ways to enjoy lemongrass tea daily.
🌼 1. Sip After Your Heaviest Meal
Drinking a warm cup of lemongrass tea about 15–30 minutes after lunch or dinner can help your body feel less sluggish. It’s caffeine-free, so it won’t interfere with rest later in the day.
🍋 2. Add Ginger for Extra Relief
Combine lemongrass with a few slices of fresh ginger for a powerful digestive combo.
Ginger helps speed up digestion while lemongrass relaxes the gut — perfect harmony in a cup.
💧 3. Stay Hydrated Between Meals
Instead of sugary drinks, sip diluted lemongrass tea through the day.
It hydrates, refreshes, and helps your digestive system stay active without added sugar or caffeine.
🌿 4. Sweeten Naturally
If you prefer a bit of sweetness, add honey or stevia while the tea is warm (not boiling hot) to preserve nutrients. Avoid sugar, which can increase bloating.
🫖 5. Use as a Digestive Starter
A small cup before eating can gently wake up your digestive enzymes and prepare your stomach for food.
🌞 6. Brew a Morning Detox
Start your morning with lemongrass tea and a squeeze of lemon.
It supports hydration and leaves you feeling lighter before breakfast.
🧊 7. Try Iced Lemongrass Tea on Hot Days
Cold-brewing your tea overnight in the fridge preserves its citrus aroma. Add mint or cucumber for a refreshing twist — ideal for warm weather.
🧘♀️ 8. Create a Calm Tea Ritual
Your mind affects your digestion, too. Pair your cup with deep breathing or quiet time.
For extra relaxation, spritz a little Lemongrass Hydrosol around your space — its natural scent uplifts the mood.
🍲 9. Use as a Broth Base
Add brewed lemongrass tea to soups or light meals instead of plain water. It adds subtle flavour and helps your body digest heavier ingredients.
🕓 10. Keep It Handy for Afternoon Slumps
Instead of coffee or soda, sip lemongrass tea to refresh your senses and avoid the bloated feeling caffeine can sometimes bring.
🌙 11. Drink Before Bed
Lemongrass tea’s calming aroma makes it a perfect evening drink.
Warm but not too hot — it helps your body wind down while supporting gentle digestion overnight.
🍵 12. Mix with Other Herbal Allies
Pair with mint, ginger, or moringa for flavour variety and balanced benefits. Each herb adds its own soothing touch for your gut and taste buds.
🍋 13. Lemongrass + Apple Cider Vinegar Shot
For adventurous tea lovers — mix a tablespoon of brewed lemongrass tea with half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
It’s tangy, aromatic, and helps awaken sluggish digestion (best once or twice a week).
💚 14. Keep It Simple
Sometimes, all you need is plain lemongrass tea and a moment of peace.
No additives, no fuss — just warmth, aroma, and calm after every meal.
