How to Make Ginger Tea Lemonade

  1. Boil 2 cups of water in a small saucepan over high heat.
  2. Remove from heat and add 2 black tea bags (or your preferred tea).
  3. Steep for 10 minutes, then remove tea bags and let the tea cool completely to room temperature.
  4. While the tea cools, prepare the ginger simple syrup (see instructions below).
  5. Once the tea is cool, add ½ cup of ginger simple syrup, ½ cup of fresh lemon juice, and 1 cup of sparkling water to a large pitcher.
  6. Add ice to the pitcher.
  7. Pour the cooled tea mixture over the ice.
  8. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh ginger slices (optional).
  9. **To make Ginger Simple Syrup:** Combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup water, and 1 inch piece of peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  10. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain the syrup to remove the ginger slices before using.
