Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger root
- 3 large lemons Lemon juice
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 liter Water
- 10 pieces Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 3 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root and grate it finely using a grater or microplane.
In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger with 100 ml of water and the granulated sugar.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes to create a ginger syrup.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the ginger syrup cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove ginger solids.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed juice from 3 large lemons, the cooled ginger syrup, and 900 ml of cold water. Stir well to mix.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, as desired.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Ginger Lemonade Sekanji over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf and a slice of lemon for an extra refreshing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Ginger Lemonade Sekanji!
