How to Make Ginger Lemonade

  1. Peel and finely grate 1/2 cup of fresh ginger.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger with 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Strain the ginger mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the juice of 2 limes to the ginger concentrate.
  6. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
  8. Pour the ginger lemonade concentrate into a clean bottle or jar. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. To serve, add 1-2 tablespoons of the concentrate to each glass filled with chilled water or club soda.
  10. Stir well and serve over ice in a tall glass. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig.
