summary Betel (Piper betle) and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) are well known medicinal plant that exhibit good antimicrobial properties. This study aims to investigate antibacterial potency of Lemongrass-Scented Betel Tea (LSBT). Four herbal infusions formulations (B-100:L-0, B-95:L-5, B-85:L-15 and B-75:L-25) with different percentage of betel leaves and lemongrass stem powder were prepared.
