    Hi, Bee Yinn. Very pretty name. I only have lemongrass powder. Is it ok to use the powder for the simple syrup, and if so, how much of the powder?

    Thank you. ๐Ÿ˜€

    1. Bee Yinn Low says:

      Hi Ari, yes you can use lemongrass powder. I didn’t use it myself so I cannot quantify it for you. It’s up to you and to taste.
