Make it

Method

  1. 1

    Combine ogi water, pineapple, and lemongrass leaves in a pot. Simmer for at least 45 minutes.

  2. 2

    Remove from the heat, and cool completely. Once cool, strain out the solids.

  3. 3

    Place the sugar in a pot. Slowly melt it over medium heat, stirring, and cook until it reaches a light brown caramel.

  4. 4

    Stir some hot water into the caramel to make a sauce—if you use cold water, it will crystallize. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Sweeten the strained liquid with the caramel sauce, and serve.
