Lemon Grass-Coconut Sorbet
Notes: If you do not have an ice-cream maker, pour lemon grass mixture (after step 3) into a 9- by 13-inch dish and freeze just until firm, 2 to 4 hours. Scrape with a large fork to form a slushy ice; serve at once.
Yield: Makes about 1 quart; 4 to 6 servings

- 10 stalks fresh lemon grass (about 12 oz.), rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup lemon juice

- 1. Peel toughest outer layers from lemon grass; discard. Cut into 1/2-inch lengths. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over high heat, combine lemon grass, sugar, salt, and 2 1/2 cups water. Stir until liquid comes to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until light golden, about 20 minutes.
