For the broth:

• 300 ml Plum wine, approx. 10%
• 150 ml Water
• 50 g Sugar

Instructions 

• Cut the lemongrass into thin slices and heat it along with the other ingredients up to about 70° C. It should not boil, only steam.

  Let the broth steep on a low flame for at least 30 minutes with the lid closed. Pour it through a fine sieve afterwards.

  Dissolve the gelatine in some cold water (about 5 minutes), squeeze it out well with your hands and dissolve it in the still hot broth. Let it cool down a bit afterwards.
• First fill your dessert bowls halfway with berries. Then pour the lemongrass broth on it until the bowl is filled to the top.
• Now put the bowls in the fridge for at least 4 hours. You can also prepare the lemongrass jelly dessert in a terrine form. Cut it into pieces and serve.
