Notes

Lemongrass is slightly crushed to release more flavours.
There is no specific measurements of the ingredients for this recipe, just add more or less to suit your taste. First add couple of lemongrass stalks and a small piece of ginger, once it is boiled taste it, add more if necessary.
I've used store-bought lemongrass stalks, you can use lemongrass leaves if you get them in stores or if you grow in your garden.
