How to Make Fresh Ginger Infused Lemonade
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 inches of peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the ginger syrup steep completely for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for a stronger ginger flavor).
- Strain the ginger syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the ginger solids.
- Stir in 1 cup of fresh-squeezed lemon juice and 4 cups of cold water. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed, adding more sugar or a squeeze of lemon to your preference.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon slices and/or fresh ginger slices before serving for extra flair.
