Ingredients
- 2 ripe Anjou pears, cored and sliced
- 1 lemongrass stalk, sliced into coins
- 750 ml vodka

Notes
* You want to be certain that you strain out all of the solid materials from the vodka. Any leftover particles will breakdown over time and have an adverse affect on the taste. You should strain our the vodka with a fine-mesh basket strainer or a coffee filter (or both if you are worried!). Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 months.
