Refreshing Ginger Lemonade
This Ginger Lemonade is a perfect summer cooler that balances the zing of fresh ginger with the brightness of lemon. It is incredibly refreshing and can be made in a concentrated form to store for several days.
Ingredients
-
100g Fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
-
4-5 Large lemons (to get about 1 cup of juice)
-
4 cups Water
-
1/2 cup Honey or Maple syrup (adjust for your preferred sweetness)
-
A pinch of Black salt or Sea salt
-
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
-
Ice cubes
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ginger Base: Place the sliced ginger and 1 cup of water into a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing down firmly to extract all the flavorful ginger juice.
-
Squeeze the Lemons: Juice the lemons until you have about 1 cup of fresh juice. Ensure no seeds fall into the liquid.
-
Combine: Add the lemon juice and the remaining 3 cups of water to the pitcher with the ginger extract.
-
Sweeten and Season: Stir in your choice of sweetener (honey or syrup) and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
-
Concentrate Option (for small bottles): If you want to make the “shots” shown in your picture, use only 1 cup of water total to create a potent concentrate. You can then add a splash of this concentrate to a glass of sparkling water or cold water whenever you need a drink.
-
Serve: Fill glasses with plenty of ice, pour the lemonade over, and garnish with fresh mint leaves or a thin slice of lemon.
