Ingredients
Scale
- Ogi water
- Ripe pineapple, sliced
- Fresh or dried lemongrass leaves, rinsed
- Lemons or oranges
- White sugar
Directions
- Combine ogi water, pineapple, and lemongrass leaves in a pot. Simmer for at least 45 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, and cool completely. Once cool, strain out the solids.
- Place the sugar in a pot. Slowly melt it over medium heat, stirring, and cook until it reaches a light brown caramel.
- Stir some hot water into the caramel to make a sauce—if you use cold water, it will crystallize. Set aside.
- Sweeten the strained liquid with the caramel sauce, and serve.
Notes
You can substitute honey for the finished caramel syrup.
If desired, you can omit the sugar and skip the caramelization step.
