Chef Didier's Welcome Drink

Chef Didier's Welcome Drink will always be number one of my favorite drinks. I told him, I'd like to re-create it at home and he galdly told me how.

Ingredients: A small piece of ginger, 2 stalk lemon grass (only the white stalk),700 ml water, 700 ml sugar, 12 pieces calamsi

Procedure: Squeeze calamansi, then add 700 ml water and 700 ml sugar. Dissolve sugar then add lemon grass and ginger. Boil for 3 minutes. Let it cood for 2 to 3 hours. 

To serve:

Put 1 tablespoon water or sparkling soda, ice, serve..

Variation:

Instead of water, you can use vodka or wine to add spirit.

You can also replace lemon grass for basil, rosemary or other leafy vegetable. For herbs, put in the beginning. For leafy vegetables, add it at the end after boiling.
