Ingredients

• 75g caster sugar
• 2 lemongrass stalks
• grated zest of 2 oranges
• juice of 6 oranges
• juice of 2 lemons
• soda water or lemonade (optional)

Directions

1. Put the sugar in a pan with 600ml water. Bash and flatten the lemongrass stalks with a rolling pin and add to the pan. Bring gently to the boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then simmer for 5 minutes until syrupy. Leave to cool.
