Description
Delicious homemade refreshing ginger lemonade.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 piece of ginger root (peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine the ginger root, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Be sure to stir to get help the sugar dissolve. Bring it to a boil. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes. Do not burn! Remove the ginger syrup from the heat and let it cool for a minute.
- Juice the lemons. I used a citrus juicer to make it easier.
- Set up your strainer over your bowl. Then carefully strain the ginger syrup. With the same bowl and strainer, strain the lemon juice.
- Pour the ginger lemonade into a pitcher. I do not add water to this concentrate because I serve it as a mocktail or cocktail, but if you want to serve it as it is, simply add a cup of cool water and serve or ice.
