Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Fresh lemons
- 2 inches Fresh ginger root
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 cups Water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 sprigs Mint leaves
Instructions
Peel the ginger and grate it finely using a microplane or a fine grater.
In a small pot, combine 1 cup of water, the granulated sugar, and the grated ginger. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the ginger flavor. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Strain to remove the ginger pulp if preferred.
Juice the lemons, ensuring no seeds are in the juice, and set aside.
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled ginger syrup, fresh lemon juice, honey, and 5 cups of water. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add ice cubes to the pitcher for a chilled result and stir again to incorporate.
Pour the lemonade into glasses and garnish each with a sprig of fresh mint for an aromatic touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade velvet ginger lemonade!
