No need to peel the ginger, just scrub the skin clean with a vegetable brush and grate or chop finely in a chopper.
120 g fresh ginger
If you have a pestle and mortar, lightly crush the lavender buds to release their essential oils and aroma. If you don't, making sure that your hands are clean, lightly crush the buds between your fingers or in your hands.
2 tsp dried culinary/edible lavender
Place everything into a small pan and bring to a boil.
125 ml water, 200 g white sugar
Simmer for 10 minutes on the lowest heat to allow the flavours to develop and the syrup to thicken.
Strain and discard the ginger pulp.
Cool to room temperature, cover and leave somewhere cool until needed. No need to place in the fridge.

Rinse the lemongrass stalks and bruise them. That means, using the back of a big knife, pound down on the base (the thick part) of the lemongrass, to release the flavour, aroma and essential oils.
4 stalks fresh lemongrass
Divide the ginger and lavender syrup amongst 4 glasses.
Ginger and Lavender Syrup
Place 3-4 ice cubes in each glass.
Ice cubes as needed
Top up with the sparkling water.
1 L COLD Sparkling/Soda water
Place a lemongrass stalk in each glass, stir to infuse, then serve immediately.

Total time doesn't include cooling down of the syrup. If your syrup is still warm when you make this drink, compensate by adding more ice cubes.
