   2. Combine all the stock ingredients together in a saucepan and let it come to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally so the sugar dissolves. Once the mixture comes to a rolling boil, remove the pan from heat.

   3. Place a sieve over the bowl of strawberries and add the hot lemongrass stock. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours. Leaving it overnight is fine. The flavors develop over time.
