Chicago chef Graham Elliot uses aromatic kaffir lime leaves to make this sparkler from his sandwich shop, Grahamwich. They're sold frozen, and sometimes fresh, at Asian markets. If unavailable, substitute an additional 1/2 teaspoon lime zest for each lime leaf. Lemongrass can be found in the produce section of better supermarkets and at Asian markets. Ingredients:
1/4 cup lemon zest (from 6 lemons) |
1/4 cup lime zest (from 8 limes) |
20 kaffir lime leaves |
2 stalks lemongrass, roughly chopped |
6 cups soda water, divided |
Directions:
1. Combine citrus zest, lime leaves, lemongrass, and 2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain lemongrass mixture into a jar and chill. Fill a 12 ounce glass with ice cubes. Add 2 tablespoons lemongrass mixture and 1 tablespoon simple syrup. Top with soda water (about 1/2 cup) and stir to combine. Repeat to make 11 more sodas.
