I am obsessed with Twinings Lemon Ginger tea. I go through a box about every two week. Since I enjoy it so much I thought I should make Ginger Lemonade. Homemade lemonade is one of my favorite memories of childhood, picking lemons at my Aunt’s house followed by making fresh lemonade.
1 Cup of Fresh Lemon Juice
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Inches of Fresh Ginger Root peeled and sliced
In a saucepan put all of the ingredients over medium heat and cook until sugar has dissolved. Pour the syrup into a container and let cool completely. Leave the ginger in the syrup for a few more hours.
I like to use sparkling water, the portion I use is 4 parts water 1 part lemon. But that is a preference on your part as how sweet you like it!
If you love this combination, there are some Carr’s lemon and ginger sandwich cookies that are delicious. I’m sure you know these already.
