📖 The Story Behind This Dish

On Caribbean islands, teas brewed from medicinal plants growing in yards and fields are called 'bush tea' and drunk for well-being. Lemongrass is said to bring down fevers and is also called 'fever grass.' It's often made in Vincentian homes.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a yard on Saint Vincent, long leaves are picked by the bunch, simmered in a kitchen kettle, and poured into cups.
