How to Make Lemouroudji Lemonade

  1. Combine 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a small piece of cheesecloth. Tie the cheesecloth securely to create a sachet.
  2. Steep the ginger-cayenne sachet in 4 cups of water for at least 15 minutes (longer for a stronger flavor).
  3. Remove the sachet and discard. Add 1 cup of sugar (or to taste) and the juice of 4 lemons to the ginger-infused water.
  4. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the lemonade to chill thoroughly.
  6. Before serving, taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Serve chilled over ice.
