Medicinal Indications.

Lemongrass Elixir can be used medicinally for coughs and colds.  Traditionally, in Belize this herb is known as “Fevergrass” because it is used in bush medicine for the lowering of fevers.  Dosage recommendation is a single shot (30mls/1oz) or a shot in a hot beverage taken at bedtime.

Serving Suggestions.

• Store in the freezer for a cool, sipping liqueur.  Pour into a liqueur glass or shot glass and enjoy.  Excellent after-dinner digestif to bring closure to a meal or as a night-cap.
• Serve in a highball glass over ice and top up with soda.  Add a lime twist for extra zing.
