Ingredients:

  • 2 -4 oz lemongrass
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3 drops red food coloring (for color) (optional)
  • coconut milk , to taste
  • water (optional)
  • salt , to taste

Directions:

  1. For the syrup:.
  2. Slit the lemongrass several times lengthwise. This will help release the glorious lemon scent. Then add the lemongrass to a pot with the sugar and water. Boil 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture obtains a syrupy consistency. Stir in a few drops of food coloring.
  3. Pour the lemongrass syrup into a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate until cool. Remove the lemongrass, if desired. Makes about 1 1/2-2 cups.
  4. To mix your drink into a slushie (for 1 person):.
  5. Stir together 1/4 cup lemongrass syrup with 1/4 cup coconut milk and a pinch of salt.
  6. Blend this pink mixture with two handfuls of ice.
  7. This will make a slushie for one person in the blender.
  8. Pulse until the smoothie is ultra, silky smooth. It really makes for an almost ice cream like dessert (except totally vegan).
