One and all enjoy the oh-so-aromatic masala chai. Although you surely prepare the chai every day in your kitchen, the one made with lemon grass is different and has a unique flavour. Lemongrass is not just refreshing, but it also has amazing detoxifying properties. It has diuretic properties that help the body release toxins. It also has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that can ward off cough and cold. The ginger added to this chai can provide relief if you have a sore throat. A warm cup of this tea can reduce flatulence, constipation or heartburn. Children, however, should not consume lemongrass without consulting a doctor. You can also try this
