1
Prepare the Ginger
Peel the ginger root using a vegetable peeler or the back of a spoon to remove the skin. Once peeled, chop the ginger into small pieces.
2
Boil the Ginger
In a medium saucepan, add the chopped ginger and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
3
Strain the Mixture
After simmering, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the ginger from the liquid, discarding the ginger pieces. You should have a ginger-infused water.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a large glass or pitcher, combine the ginger-infused water, honey, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
5
Add Optional Ingredients
If using, add mint leaves for freshness and cayenne pepper for a spicy kick. Stir to combine.
6
Serve
Pour the drink over ice and top with sparkling water if desired. Garnish with additional mint leaves if using.
