Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Ginger Syrup

    Peel and grate the fresh ginger root. In a saucepan, combine the grated ginger with granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Strain the Syrup

    Once the ginger syrup has cooled, strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or jar to remove the ginger pieces.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the ginger syrup, fresh lemon juice, and carbonated water. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the ginger ale mixture over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
