Preparation:

    Step 1
  • Pound the lemongrass stalk with the blunt side of a knife to soften it. Cut the stalk in half or into thirds lengthwise to fit comfortably in a small saucepan.
  • Step 2
  • Pour a little over 2 cups of water into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and add the lemongrass. Remove from heat and let steep for 10-15 minutes. Strain and cool the lemongrass water completely.
  • Step 3
  • In a blender, combine coconut water, lychee, lemongrass water and salt.
  • Step 4
  • Blend until smooth; depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this in several batches. Season with salt to taste, chill, and serve; if you don't like the pulp, you can strain it.
