Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Fresh lemons
- 4 cups Filtered water
- 3 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger (optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Roll the lemons on a countertop with the palm of your hand to help release their juices. Slice each lemon in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp, if desired, and set it aside.
If using fresh ginger, peel the 1-inch piece and finely grate it using a microplane or grater. Place the grated ginger in a piece of cheesecloth or a tea strainer, then squeeze or press to extract the juice. Discard the solids and set the ginger juice aside.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, filtered water, pure maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Stir well until the maple syrup is fully dissolved and the cayenne is evenly distributed.
If adding ginger juice, stir it into the mixture for an extra zing.
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness or spiciness as desired by adding more maple syrup or cayenne, respectively.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the spicy lemonade over the ice. Stir gently.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
