Ingredients

  • 1 lemongrass stalk, tough outer layers removed, bottom 4" thinly sliced
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Crushed ice

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring sliced lemongrass and 1/2 cup water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 1 minute.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of honey for a tart-sweet slushy, and up to 1 more tablespoon for a sweeter slushy. Let the mixture cool.
  3. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a blender, discarding the lemongrass.
  4. Add the lime juice, pinch of salt, and a cup of crushed ice to the blender.
  5. Blend on high just until slushy, being careful not to over-blend to avoid a watery texture.
  6. Pour the slushy into a glass and garnish with a lime wheel.
