Ginger Lemonade
/Summary: I found this recipe years ago in Cooking Light. It's not overly sweet and is an interesting, refreshing version of your standard lemonade.
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 6 cups water, divided
- 1¼ cup unrefined cane sugar
- ¼ cup peeled, grated fresh ginger
- 1¼ cups fresh lemon juice (about 7 large lemons)
- ¼ cup 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.
