- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger root
- 4 cups Water
- 4 whole Lemons
- 2/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
- 3 cups Cold water
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root and slice it into thin pieces.
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the sliced ginger.
Reduce the heat to low and let the ginger simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the water.
Remove the saucepan from heat, strain the ginger water into a large pitcher, and discard the ginger pieces.
Juice the lemons and add the fresh lemon juice to the pitcher with the ginger-infused water.
Stir in granulated sugar until it fully dissolves. Adjust the sugar quantity to taste, if desired.
Add 3 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir to combine.
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill, or serve immediately over 2 cups of ice cubes.
Optional: Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch before serving.
