How to Make Ginger Lemonade Sekanji

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon rock salt, 1-inch piece of ginger (peeled and thinly sliced), and 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove ginger and cumin solids.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled ginger syrup with 3 cups of water and the juice of 4 lemons (about 1 cup). Stir well to combine.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  5. Serve over ice. For a frothy version, blend a portion of the chilled Sekanji with ice until smooth and creamy.
