Method
Prepare Lemongrass Infusion
- 1
Infuse the Lemongrass
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, take the fresh lemongrass stalks, trim the ends, and smash them with the back of a knife to release their essential oils. Once the water is boiling, add the smashed lemongrass stalks and reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Once the lemongrass infusion has cooled, strain it to remove the stalks and add the infused water to the sugar and lemon juice mixture. Mix well.
