One of my favourite herbs for un-cooking, teas and drinks is lemongrass. It can be used for making a hot or cold tea, up to make amazing dressings and soups, furthermore, I came out with the following discovery “In 2006 a research team from the Ben Gurion University in Israel found that Lemon grass (cymbopogon citratus) caused apoptosis (programmed cell death) in malignant cancer cells.” (from wikipedia )
Amazing! Is it? If any cancer cell is developing, it will self-distruct!
A good spot to fine nice organic lemon grass, is at the herb garden in Lamma Island. I highly recommend to just go for a walk and pick your plant and support our local organic produce.
Quick drink:
