Lemon Grass & Ginger

There are many uses for the leaves from a Lemon Grass plant and the Ginger root, but here are a few that I used out of just a couple leaves and a little fresh grated ginger.  I wasn't feeling well the other night, being completely congested,  so I boiled some leaves and grated ginger to make a kind of light tea.  I also took advantage of the steam with some nice deep breaths.  I love the fresh scent that this combination gives as it fills my kitchen.  I actually loved it so much that I then used the remaining water to add to my homemade cleaning products as a substitute for filtered water.  After that I decided to make some healthy popsicles for the kids by adding the water with some of the ginger bits to pomegranate and blueberry juice.  They were healthy, delicious, and most importantly, 

the kids loved them!
