Ingredients
Star fruitwashed & chopped - 2
Lemon grass - 4 to 5 leaves
Mint leaves - few
Lemon - 1
Sugar - 2 tbsp or more
salt - to taste
Instructions
First of all wash lemongrass well. Heat a pan on stove with 2 glasses of water. Once it starts to boil add lemongrass leaves into in. Next add sugar to this.
Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Switch off the flame. Your lemongrass tea is ready.
Cool and strain it. Keep aside
Now chop star fruit into pieces. Make puree by blending it into mixer.
In a muddler, put lemon juice and mint. Muddle it 2 to 3 times to release the flavour. But don’t over muddle it as mint may turn bitter and it will spoil the taste of mojito.
To serve
Coat the rim of the glass with honey, chilli powder and chat masala for that extra kick while sipping this cool mojito.
In 2 tall glasses, add enough ice cubes. Divide mint lemon mixture equally. To this add star fruit puree. Top it up with lemongrass tea.
Add salt to taste.
With the help of stirrer, mix everything well. Taste the test and adjust sweetness and serve chilled.
