METHOD

  1. In a small saucepan, combine lemongrass, grated ginger, lime juice, water, and honey.

  2. Simmer gently for 5–10 minutes to infuse, then cool completely.

  3. Strain the liquid and discard the solids.

  4. Fill a glass with crushed ice, pour over the infused base, and top with soda water.

  5. Garnish with mint and a lime wheel. Sip and refresh.

TOP TIP

Trim, smash, and steep: the magic of lemongrass is in its tough outer layers. Bruising the stalks before simmering unlocks its aromatic oils and citrusy depth. Don’t just chop it—give it a bash first!
