Honey ginger lemonade freshly served
Cooling, healthy summer drink

Zesty honey and ginger lemonade

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Drinks
Lemonade is synonymous with summer, but the addition of ginger turns it into a 'grown-up' refreshment. The piquant heat of ginger tingles on the tongue, accompanied by the acidity of lemon and the sweetness of honey. A true flavour bomb that not only hydrates but invigorates.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Saucepan: For cooking the ginger syrup.
  • Sieve: For clear juice.
  • Jug: For mixing.

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate the ginger. In a small saucepan, bring 200 ml of water to the boil, add the ginger, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Tip: This creates a strong ginger extract (infusion) which will be the base of the drink.
2 ✓

Remove from the heat and stir in the honey whilst still warm, until completely dissolved.

Tip: The viscosity of honey decreases in warm water, so it mixes easily.
3 ✓

Strain this syrup into a large jug, pressing the ginger to extract all the flavour.

Tip: We do not want the fibres, only the flavour.
4 ✓

Top up with the cold water and the freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Tip: Dilution adjusts the intensity of the flavours.
5 ✓

Add the lemon slices and mint leaves. Leave to cool, then add plenty of ice when serving.

Tip: Only add the ice immediately before consuming so it does not water down the drink too soon.

Recipe FAQ

Why won't the honey dissolve?
Honey dissolves with difficulty in cold water (it crystallises). That is why we make a warm base (syrup) first, in which it melts.
