How to Make Ginger Limeade

  1. Combine 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 (1-inch) piece peeled and chopped ginger, zest of 1 lime, and 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove solids (optional, but recommended for a smoother drink).
  4. Add the remaining 3/4 cup water and 1/2 cup lime juice to the pitcher.
  5. Stir well to combine.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
  7. Serve over ice. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
