Method (preview)

1. 1

   Cut the leaves or tops into 2-inch lengths, measure out 1 1/2 cups, loosely packed.

2. 2

   In a blender, combine the tops, water and syrup and blend at high speed until the water is a vivid green and the lemongrass leaves are reduced to fine, short, needlelike pieces, about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Strain through a very fine sieve into a large pitcher, spoon off and discard green foam.

4. 4

   Taste to see if it's sweet enough, and add more syrup if you like.

5. 5

   Serve in tall glasses over ice.

6. 6

   Combine sugar and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until liquid has thickened and colored slightly, about 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Cool.
