Cymbopogon citratus

The dried leaves of the lemon grass stalk are used in Asian curries and herbal tea infusions. It's not a good substitute for recipes that call for the fresh leaf or bottom stalk of the plant, but ground and added elsewhere in Thai soups and stocks it has no substitute. We particularly like this in teas with hibiscus when you want a "zing" to your palate.
