1
Prepare the Lemongrass
Using a knife, trim the ends of the lemongrass stalks and remove the outer tough layers. Cut the stalks into small pieces.
2
Boil the Lemongrass
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the chopped lemongrass and boil for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for another 10 minutes.
3
Make the Lemonade Base
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed juice of the lemons, sugar, and the remaining 2 cups of cold water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4
Combine and Strain
Strain the lemongrass infusion into the lemonade mixture to remove the solid pieces. Stir well to combine.
5
Serve
Serve the lemonade over ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
