    Schisandra slimming

    Pour 50 g of peeled ginger into boiling water (about 2 l), turn off the heat, add 5-50 ml of lemongrass juice, honey to taste and mix. Insist 60-10 min. and drink hot, like tea, or chilled.
    Dried berries and lemongrass leaves can be mixed with ordinary black tea in a ratio of 1:2 and brewed with honey. This tea also helps in weight loss.

    In late summer and early autumn, lemongrass is decorated with bunches of scarlet berries. It's nice to collect them for making invigorating fruit drinks and other useful goodies!
    I grew this liana from a cut, which in September my friend separated from the mother plant along with a piece of rhizome. And immediately I planted it in a place protected from the wind, where periodically there is either sun or partial shade from tall bushes. A handful of ash was poured into the bottom of the hole, then a couple of glasses of leaf humus, mixed with the removed soil, and planted lemongrass there.

    In order for the seedling to take root faster, she regularly watered it, and for the winter she mulched it with fallen leaves. In the spring, she slightly loosened the soil around the stem, removed early weeds, fed urea (1 tablespoon per bush). To prevent diseases, she additionally dusted the root zone with ash. In the heat, she regularly watered. Two more years later, lemongrass not only braided part of the fence well, but also began to bear fruit.

    Note
    I pick the berries at the end of September, when they turn dark red, rinse in boiled water. I squeeze the juice (through cheesecloth) or mix it with sugar (1: 1) and store it in the fridge when it is grated (jelly). You can add to boiled water - prepare a sour tonic fruit drink or just eat 1 tbsp. l. jelly when tired. It is good to dry the fruits (in the oven at 60 degrees), and in the fall or winter add 5-6 pieces to the teapot with purchased tea. An excellent invigorating drink that adds strength! You can't just drink it for insomnia.
