I'm looking forward to working in the garden this weekend.
And as a reward, maybe I'll make up a batch of Apple and Lemongrass Cordials.
Put 4 cups organic apple juice (unsweetened) and 1 1/4 cups sugar in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves.
Add 4 large stalks lemongrass (halved lengthwise) and simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool, then strain.
Pour a little into a tall glass. Add ice cubes and lemon wedges and top with sparkling water. Add a fresh stalk of lemongrass and stir.
The Italian for today is rinfrescante. It means: refreshing.
