Super easy
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cups water
1 lemongrass stalk (or any fresh herbs), minced
Lemongrass Simple Syrup Directions
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and dissolve the granules over medium-low heat. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the lemongrass or fresh herbs. Cover the pan and cool to room temperature.
Muddle with a potato masher or wooden spoon to release any extra oil from the lemongrass, then strain and refrigerate. Syrup will keep for up to 3 weeks.
