The typical taste of lemongrass is slightly sour, which gives your beverages a fresh flavor. Try the syrup in lemonades made of mineral water and sour juices (lemon, lime). To add some sweetness, use sweet juices and syrups like pineapple and lychee.

Every part of lemongrass can be used in cooking. However, because of its fibrous texture, only the bottom third of the stem is edible. Lemongrass can be used in soups, salads, and curries, and to flavor roasted meats. The outer leaves can also be dried and brewed into a tea, or chopped fresh and utilized in a cocktail.
What is lemongrass simple syrup?
Simple syrup is a key ingredient used in cocktails and many other beverages as it mixes readily with water. It is sold in supermarkets, but isn’t cheap, so luckily it can be easily made at home! Traditionally, simple syrup has a 1:1 water to sugar ratio. Lemongrass simple syrup, then, is simply a simple syrup infused with lemongrass flavor.
How long does lemongrass simple syrup last?
Lemongrass simple syrup can keep for 1 week in the fridge. (Some people keep it for 2 but I prefer to err on the safer side.) If you want it to store for longer, add more sugar and make a lemongrass rich simple syrup instead. (Sugar is a natural preservative.) If the syrup has gone cloudy, that’s a sign of bacteria growing so toss it out!
