Lemongrass Drink

Place the lemongrass in a saucepan with 3 cups of the water. Cover and simmer gently over mediun heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until the liquid is aromatic and yellow-green in color. Remove from the heat, add the sugar, and stir until dissolved. Cool, and strain into a glass pitcher. Add the remaining 2 cups of water.

Chill until very cold. If you add ice, serve immediately to avoid diluting the flavor.
