Lemongrass Pandan Drink (Nam Takrai Bai Toey)

I came across with this lemongrass pandan drink from a Thailand restaurant, it tastes very refreshing with lemony aroma. I think this drink is originated from Thailand because I found a lot of Thailand recipes on making the drink. In Thai, we called it Nam Takrai Bai Toey.
Ps: Nam = water; Takrai = lemongrass; Bai Toey = pandan

Initially, I thought it would be spicy if I use lemongrass for drink but it turns out not spicy at all. Since it tastes good so I decided to give it a try!

1. Cut the lemongrass and pandan leave into shorter pieces.

2. Put into all the ingredients and simmer it for 10 minutes. I simmer it for longer because I prefer a rich and stronger aroma.

According to articles, lemongrass is good in detoxification. It also has antioxidant properties and helps to regulate our cholesterol level.

Lemongrass drink is actually very easy to prepare and it's easy to get in South East Asia. Most of the people will grow lemongrass and pandan in their backyard. If not, it is easy to get from a shopping mall or supermarket or morning market. So it is not a big deal to prepare lemongrass pandan drink.
