Ginger Lemonade
Mar 5th, 2012 by Em-i-lis
Summary: I found this recipe years ago in Cooking Light. It’s not overly sweet and is an interesting version of your standard lemonade.
Ingredients
- 6 c water, divided
- 1¼ c unrefined cane sugar
- ¼ c peeled, grated fresh ginger
- 1¼ c fresh lemon juice (about 7 large lemons)
- ¼ c fresh lime juice
- lemon and lime slices for garnish, optional
- candied ginger cubes for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup water, sugar, and ginger in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute or until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool.
- Strain ginger mixture through a sieve into a pitcher, and discard solids. Add 5 cups water and juices, and stir well. Serve over ice, and garnish, if desired.
Number of servings (yield): 6
This sounds similar to the drink we had during EWR – I’m going to try it!
Hope you enjoy! Serve it with something hot, cheesy, and with nary a puréed nut in sight.
