How to Make Ginger Cider Lemonade

  1. Combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of thinly sliced fresh ginger in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add 6 large lemons to the pan. Let the lemons steep in the ginger syrup for 30 minutes.
  4. After 30 minutes, remove the lemons from the pan and use a citrus juicer or your hands to gently squeeze out as much juice as possible. Add the juice back into the ginger syrup.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the ginger solids and lemon pulp. Discard the solids.
  6. Stir in 2 cups of apple cider into the strained mixture.
  7. Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh ginger slices if desired.
