It’s time to recoup! In the name of self care, toast to the week ahead with this restorative mocktail.
Ingredients:
2 stalks of lemongrass
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped
1/2 cup coconut water
1/2 fresh lime, juiced
sparkling water and extra lime slices to top and garnish
Directions:
Peel outer leaves from lemongrass and using a rolling pin, bash the soft inner stalks until they are bruised and fragrant. Add to small saucepan with water and sugar.
Bring to the boil and then remove from the heat. Strain out the lemongrass and cool.
Fill a tall glass with ice, adding one or two tsp of your lemongrass syrup. Add mint, coconut water and lime juice, leaving space to top with some sparkling water.
Muddle and serve with a lime slice.
