Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 inches Fresh ginger root
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 cups Sparkling water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the ginger root and slice it thinly.
In a small saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, water, and granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the ginger syrup cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the ginger slices.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the cooled ginger syrup. Stir well to mix.
Slowly add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine. Avoid over-stirring to preserve the fizz.
Fill glasses halfway with ice cubes. Pour the sparkling ginger lemonade into the glasses.
Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a couple of fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing drink!
