3 1/2 ounces sugar cubes, to taste (approx)

I've made this tea several times now and it's always a hit. My friends and family love it. It's a great way to use up fresh herbs from the garden.

This tea is a delicious and refreshing way to cool down on a hot day. I love the combination of lemongrass, ginger, and mint. It's also very easy to make, which is a bonus. I will definitely be making this tea again.
