Method

BEVERAGES

  1. 1

    Grate ginger

    Grate 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger and set aside.

  2. 2

    Juice lemons

    Extract 60 ml of fresh lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Make ginger-lemon syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine grated ginger, lemon juice, 0.75 cups sugar, and 1 cup water. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes fragrant.

  4. 4

    Simmer and strain

    Bring to a gentle simmer for 5-7 minutes to let flavors infuse. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh to remove solids. Cool the syrup completely.

    Assemble the drinks

    To serve, add 2 tablespoons of syrup to each glass, top with 240 ml cold sparkling water, and stir. Add ice if desired.
