Cheers from the river! What's everyone's plan this weekend?
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
4 stalks lemongrass, roughly chopped
Combine sugar, water, and about half the lemongrass in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let simmer, still stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar, for about 10 minutes. When sugar is dissolved and syrup thickened, pour into a jar and add remaining lemongrass. Let cool and refrigerate.
