56g Lemon grass
8 Egg yolks
90g Sugar
375g Whipping cream
375g Whole milk
Method:
1. Whisk egg yolk and sugar till thickened.
2. Heat up the milk and cream, don't boil. Then add in chopped lemon grass in. Let it infused till warm.
3. Strain the mix with a fine strainer.
4. Mix in the mix into the whisked yolk and sugar.
5. Stir well and pour into individual baking cups.
6. Place onto a baking tray and bake with water bath at 160C for one hour.
7. Place it into the chiller till the mix is stable.
8. Before serving, place a teaspoon of sugar into each cup.
9. Using a blow torch, caramelised the sugar, then add berries if required.
Notes:
~ I used 4 lemongrass bulbs. However, the fragrance was not strong enough. Needs at least another two bulbs I presumed.
~ I baked eight small cups for 40mins at 160C. However, it was not firm enough. The top were firmed, but the centre was still very liquid. Therefore, it will be better to bake longer, maybe a total of 60mins will be good.
Recipe for Refreshing Lemongrass Drink.
Ingredients:
4 Lemongrass, chopped and mashed lightly
2 litres water
6 tbsp Sugar
1 Lipton tea bag
Method:
1. Boil lemongrass and water in a pot.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Add tea bag to infuse, followed by sugar.
4. Remove tea bag after about 5 mins.
5. Let the lemongrass infused in the water overnight as it cooled.
6. Strained into a bottle and refrigerate.
7. Serve with ice.
Note:
This drink is rather bland in terms of sweetness. More sugar can be added according to your preference, so is tea. However, I like that the tea is mild while the lemongrass is subtle.

Hi Reese,
I like this too! If you like lemongrass as much as I do, you can use more, otherwise the cream seems to be over-powering instead. :)
