Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fresh ginger root
- 500 milliliters Water
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 milliliters Fresh lemon juice
- 1 liter Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root and slice it into thin pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, water, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes to create a ginger syrup.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the ginger syrup cool to room temperature.
Strain the ginger syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the ginger pieces. Discard the solids.
In a large pitcher, combine the strained ginger syrup, fresh lemon juice, and sparkling water. Stir gently to mix.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, then pour the ginger ale mixture over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
