Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Fresh ginger root
- 750 milliliters Water
- 60 milliliters Lemon juice
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup
- 500 milliliters Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 sprig Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger root.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water boils, add the sliced ginger to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes to create a ginger infusion.
Strain the ginger infusion through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl or pitcher, discarding the ginger solids.
Allow the ginger infusion to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Once cooled, stir in the lemon juice and maple syrup until fully combined.
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes, then pour in equal parts ginger-lemon mixture and sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices if desired, and serve immediately.
