Instructions

In a small saucepan or teapot, add the water and lemongrass. Bring to a boil using medium to medium high heat.
Reduce heat once liquid boils. Simmer 5 minutes.
Add in sliced ginger. Simmer 5 more minutes.
Turn off the heat. Strain into a heat proof cup or jar.
Add honey to taste while the liquid is still hot. Stir. Cool completely.
Note: I usually put the hot liquid in the freezer for 15 minutes to cool down quickly. Alternatively can cool quickly in an ice bath.
Once the liquid is cool, Add the lime and clementine juices. Stir. Pour over a glass of ice and enjoy.
Note: Add some fresh clementine slices if desired. Enjoy!
