Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup raw sugar
5 slices ginger, cut roughly 5mm thick
1 handful kaffir lime leaf
1 lemongrass, stalk sliced
1 1/2 ounces rum, Anejo preferred
1 ounce ginger simple syrup
1/2 lime, cut into quarters
8 leaves mint
ice
sparkling water
1 lime, wheel
1 sprig mint
1 lemongrass, stalk

Steps:

Syrup: place the water and raw sugar in a saucepan over a medium low heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and add the lemongrass, ginger and kaffir lime leaves. Leave for a couple of hours or overnight before straining. The syrup will keep in a sterilised bottle for around 2 weeks.
Mojito: place the syrup, lime and rum in a glass and muddle with a muddling stick to release all the juice from the lime. If you don't have a muddling stick you can use the end of a wooden spoon.
Place the mint leaves in your hand and clap them together. Rub the mint leaves around the rim of the glass before popping them in the glass.
Top with ice and sparkling water. Stir to make sure everything is well mixed, and garnish with lime wheels, a mint sprig and a lemongrass stalk.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

12 kaffir lime leaves, fresh not dried
5 large apples, skin seeds and all
2 lemongrass, sticks coarsely chopped
2 long red chilies, sliced thin
4 cups caster sugar, approximately

Steps:

Roughly tear 8 of the lime leaves and place in saucepan with apple, lemongrass, half of the chilli and 6 cups of water. Heat on high, until boiling, then return heat to low and simmer covered for one hour until the apples are very soft. Strain through a fine sieve or piece of muslin.
Measure apple liquid (you should have approximately 4 cups). Allow one cup of sugar for each cup of liquid.
Place apple liquid and sugar in a saucepan on low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high. Boil uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until jelly sets when tested (see note).
Finely shred the remaining lime leaves and add to the jelly along with the remaining chilli. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Pour into hot sterilised jars and seal immediately.
Store the jelly in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months. Once opened, store in the fridge and use within 2 months.
*Note* to test if the jelly is ready, place a small saucer in the freezer before you start. Drop 1 teaspoon jelly onto the saucer to cool. If it's ready, the jelly should stay in place and form a skin on the surface.

Yield Makes 2 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 lemongrass stalks
6 large fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons white rum
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Ice cubes
1 cup chilled club soda

Steps:

Microwave lemongrass on high for 40 seconds. Cut bottom 7 inches from each stalk. Slice thinly (save tops for garnish). Combine sliced lemongrass, mint, and sugar in shaker; mash well with muddler or wooden spoon. Add rum and lime juice; mash until all sugar dissolves. Strain into 2 highball glasses. Fill with ice; top with club soda. Garnish with lemongrass tops.

Tips:

For the perfect mojito, use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and ginger.
If you don't have fresh lemongrass, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried lemongrass.
To make the simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.
If you don't have kaffir lime leaves, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of lime zest.
To make the ginger syrup, combine 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
Be careful not to over-muddle the mint leaves. You want to release their flavor without making the mojito bitter.
If you don't have a muddler, you can use the back of a spoon to crush the mint leaves.
Serve the mojitos immediately, garnished with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.

Conclusion:

This lemongrass, kaffir lime, and ginger mojito is a refreshing and flavorful twist on the classic cocktail. With its bright, citrusy flavors and a hint of spice, this mojito is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
