I like making a simple syrup with raw cane sugar, fresh ginger and the green parts of lemon grass. It's perfect on ice with tonic water and a lime wedge on a hot day.
Thank you for the preps for freezer storage! Many talk about growing but not so much the preparation or storage. I will finally cut back my lemongrass this month & store before bringing in the pot for winter!
This is truly a very helpful video. I have a huge pot of culinary lemongrass that I started from ends I bought to use in Thai cooking. Placed them in water, and they spouted roots, then I planted them. It makes a great accent plant in the summer. Now to start my harvest
Beautiful scenery, music and close-ups of the lemongrass. Thank you for showing all the uses for lemongrass, both the bottom thick part and the top leaves!
Lemongrass tea, my mother used to prepare this with a cinnamon stick and cloves. Thanks for the harvesting tips. I have a few running wild down here in GA!
Didn't know you could cut them so low. I have a bunch to harvest. Very tall and bushy from growing all year. Was told 18 inches up from ground is best, but I have no idea. I will try this and a bit farther up the stalk to see. Thanks for video. Very nice garden.
Great video. Lemongrass is easily one of my favorite teas. I always keep at least one plant around just for that purpose. I also love vietnamese food and one of my favorite dishes has the lemongrass infused beef...if only I knew how to make it. Now that my lemongrass is overgrown though, I was looking at ways to harvest and use the stalks. Thanks so much for the video and the tips!
Hi Thun Thun , Happy New Year to you . Never too late to watch your videos. My first time. I am so happy to see your video. So great an amazing beautiful 😂. I like lemongrass very much. You have a beautiful place out there so peaceful and lovely. You have lovely touch of your beautiful hands, beautiful soul. Nature loves you. Thank you my friend, for sharing your beautiful video. Be safe you too , and see you soon .
This year I harvested lemongrass from root shoots I harvested last fall and kept in water indoors overwinter.. I brought 4 shoots in for next year... If that works its really a simple cycle not hard to do if you don't have overwinter space for a pot
Excellent video! Do you have one on how to divide them? Mine are like cement, and they have a lot of dead leaves that I'd like to clean out. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this❣️ I found your video through searching for harvesting and processing Lemongrass. I finally grew a patch of Lemongrass this year because it is one of my favorite herb flavors and I love it in soups. I so wanted to experience having fresh Lemongrass. I live in zone 5a and will be harvesting it soon. I like that you can put it in little bundles and freeze- such an easy way to put it in a soup!! Do you know if you can dehydrate Lemongrass? We dry many of our herbs in the dehydrator but I don’t want to do it if it will diminish the flavors in Lemongrass. Also, now that I have watched your video, I am thinking about potting up a small bunch and bringing it in over winter. This video was very helpful, I appreciate all that you shared, thanks again 💚💛🩵🤍💜
Thank you so much for watching the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it :) The flavor and aroma does diminish if dehydrated. Freezing is the best at preserving its vibrant flavor and aroma.
I love lemongrass but dislike how sharp they are! My parents prepare them every year too. It's hard work and labor but so worth it. Thankful they're able to share some with me.
I agree! I've gotten a few cuts just from handling lemongrass. Your parents must enjoy watching them grow and harvesting them. Definitely rewarding. Thank you for watching 🙏
@@ThunThunChannel Yes, I was watching your video where you wrap them up for storage and I was just about to ask you how do you wrap them like that without them cutting your hands to shreds? I get cuts just by trying to cut the leaves down to make tea. lol
New subscriber. Loved the video. Question: Do you use Lemongrass just for flavor or do you eat it as a tasty vegetable? First year for the herb in my garden. Thanks.
@@paulstevenwildlife thank you so much for following! I eat the lemongrass too but it has to be pounded into a paste. When it’s in paste form, it can be used in marinades and curry pastes. Best of luck in the garden!
This was great! Not only did I learn something, but your presentation was therapeutic. What was the song in the beginning? I recognize it from the Secret of Mana video game from Super Nintendo
Hi Wayno, check your local Asian grocery store. They will have fresh lemongrass there. You can cut off the ends and plant in either water or soil and it will regrow. Yes, I enjoy making the tea too. It's so fragrant. Thank you for watching!
I live in Tucson. Lemon grass has done well in my garden. I have an auto water situation. I think the grass normally grows in wet conditions. But it’s been happy here in Tucson. And I’m not a green thumb person, but I’m working on it
THEN GROW SOME, FRESH IS FAR BETTER. I GROW MINE IN BIG BLACK NURSERY CONTAINERS. ONCE IT GETS GOING IT CAN OVERTAKE YOUR GARDEN. IN THE POTS, YOU CAN SET THEM AROUND PLANTS VULNERABLE TO LEAF MINERS AND OTHER GARDEN PESTS. IT WILL HELP PROTECT YOUR PLANTS.
Enjoyed your video very much, so much helpful hints. Wondering I live in New York area (very cold winter), if I cut the lemongrass down and put the pot in garage, will it survive the winter?
Thank you so much. Yes, it's possible. I have family in the northeast and many of them do that. The lemongrass goes into dormancy in the winter, watering much less, and it comes back in the spring.
@@ThunThunChannel hablas español? me encanta la cocina tahilandesa yo trato de hacer recetas tuyas con lo que puedo conseguir aqui en mi pais .pues no se encuentran muchos productos
Great video and info. This is my first year growing lemon grass in South Texas. It is growing well and almost time to harvest. I am growing them in the ground, if I trim it to the bottom, will it return in the spring or will the winter kill them? Thank you.
@@ThunThunChannel I just learned Im in zone 8b, we have some 30 degree whether a couple times during the winter. If I cut them down and cover them, do you think they will live?
@@terinolin1388 Best of luck! Lemongrass is easy to regrow from cuttings though if it doesn't work out. I don't have any herb drying videos at the moment. Lemongrass is best in the freezer for storage, even better than drying it. In the freezer, it will still maintain it's vibrant taste and aroma when packaged well. Stays fresh in the freezer for up to a year or until your next growing season 😊
@@TamiMohrJones You can cut off the heavily infected leaves. For the rest of the plant, I’d wipe the stalk and leaves down weekly or biweekly depending on the infestation until the scale population disappears. Is your lemongrass potted? If so, you can also consider changing the soil. You can also treat the plant with a mild horticultural insecticide. Hope you’ll be able to get it under control!
I find it helps. You can let the lemongrass air dry for a few hours after washing them, before placing them in the bags. These bags can be reused. Thank you for watching.
This is how I harvest and store lemongrass at the end of the season. For propagating lemongrass to grow new plants, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/4a5tDP_AdRc/v-deo.html
It can be prepared many ways, (raw salad, curry, soup, stir fry, steam, both dessert and savory foods) anything you can think of. My channel has many recipes that use lemongrass as an ingredient. One of my favorite herbs. Check it out ☺️

Many thanks
Is there a reason you don't dry lemon grass? It's not so flavorful? (Great video by the way!)
@@cinszjack Thank you so much for watching! Lemongrass loses a majority of aroma and flavor if dried. You maintain most of it if stored this way.
Thank you so much
Love your video. Thank you.
Love it. Thanks
I can't get fresh lemongrass in Southern Arizona. I have to use the dried stuff I get from Amazon. It works. I love making tea.

Hii.. Thun Thun..
Hi!
@@ThunThunChannel 😄
Do I need to dig up my lemon grass and bring inside for the winter?
What is your recipe for lemongrass ginger chi?
Do you keep the packets in the freezer?
Great video and info. This is my first year growing lemon grass in South Texas. It is growing well and almost time to harvest. I am growing them in the ground, if I trim it to the bottom, will it return in the spring or will the winter kill them? Thank you.
Thank you! What growing zone are you in? Lemongrass can tolerate 40F the minimum. Does it get really cold in the winters where you are?
@@ThunThunChannel I just learned Im in zone 8b, we have some 30 degree whether a couple times during the winter. If I cut them down and cover them, do you think they will live?
@@terinolin1388 30 might be too low for them. If you cover them enough and keep the roots from freezing, it can come back.
@@ThunThunChannel OK, I'll try and see how it goes. Thank you. Do you have any herb drying videos

The 3 ways rely on a freezer, in a no electricity situation can these 3 ways be dried?
@@brianpalmateer2089 you can also sun dry them but they will lose a lot of the flavor and aroma
Do you find that freezer frost doesn't get into the produce when you double bag them like that? Are the bags reusable? Nice video 😊
I find it helps. You can let the lemongrass air dry for a few hours after washing them, before placing them in the bags. These bags can be reused. Thank you for watching.
Who hasn't re-use the bags..??
Is this the proper way to save lemongrass to propagate? I think they may be too long, and should I removed the roots?
