Ingredients
  

For the lemonade
  • 2 to 3 lemons lemons (enough for about 1 cup fresh juice)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, sliced or grated
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons honey adjust to taste
  • 4 cups water can do half hot, half cold
  • Ice (optional) optional add-ins: mint, lemon slices, pinch of salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle simmer. Add the ginger and let it simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes.
  2. Turn off the heat. While the water is still warm, stir in the honey until it dissolves.
  3. Let it cool for a few minutes, then strain out the ginger.
  4. Pour the ginger honey water into a pitcher. Add fresh lemon juice and the remaining 2 cups of cold water. Stir and taste.
  5. Chill in the fridge or serve right away over ice.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey. The flavor develops better after it sits in the fridge.
