Lemongrass Stems: "Don't discard the tough outer layers of lemongrass. Instead, freeze them. They're excellent for infusing broths or making aromatic herbal teas."

Iced Jasmine Tea

Brew some jasmine tea, let it cool, and serve over ice. Its fragrant notes will complement the chicken's aromatic profile, refreshing the palate between bites.
