Here's a taste of the Caribbean with a difference in this lime and lemongrass rum punch - and it's so simple to make.
Ingredients
- 75g golden caster sugar
- 2 lemongrass stalks, roughly chopped, plus extra stalks to decorate
- Juice of 3 limes, plus 1 lime, thinly sliced
- 150ml golden rum
- Soda water, to serve
Method
- 1. Put the sugar, lemongrass and 200ml cold water in a small pan and heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cool then strain into a large jug. Stir in the lime juice and rum, and top up with soda. Chill until ready to serve and decorate with extra lemongrass stalks.
- 2. Fill glasses with ice and slices of lime. Pour over the rum punch and enjoy.
