Ingredients

  • Ogi water
  • Ripe pineapple , sliced
  • Fresh or dried lemongrass leaves, rinsed
  • White sugar

Directions

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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