Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe pears
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 3 large Lemons
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the pears thoroughly, core them, and chop into small pieces.
Peel the fresh ginger and grate it finely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped pears, grated ginger, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Juice the lemons into a bowl, being careful to remove seeds. Set aside.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the pear and ginger mixture into a large pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add the lemon juice and the remaining 3 cups of water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Taste the lemonade and adjust sugar or water levels as needed for desired sweetness and consistency.
Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or serve immediately over ice cubes.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of flavor before serving.
