Fresh ginger gives traditional lemonade a new flavour. Be careful though, the ginger is a very potent ingredient. Ginger lemonade goes well with a summer lunch of Asian cuisine.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups lemon juice
- 4 quarts water
- 3 cups sugar
- 14 slices of fresh ginger
Preparation:
Put water, sugar and ginger root together in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Remove from heat and stir in 4 cups of lemon juice (fresh or bottled). Let it sit and cool for about 20 minutes or so, then remove the ginger root pieces. Chill your ginger lemonade before serving.
Sliced ginger will make strong lemonade, but if you really like the ginger taste, you could chop it into smaller pieces for more flavour. Just make sure to strain your lemonade well before serving.
