Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger root
- 3 large lemons Lemon juice
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 liter Water
- 10 pieces Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 3 slices Lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Peel the fresh ginger root and grate it finely using a grater or microplane.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger with 100 ml of water and the granulated sugar.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes to create a ginger syrup.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the ginger syrup cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove ginger solids.
Step 5
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed juice from 3 large lemons, the cooled ginger syrup, and 900 ml of cold water. Stir well to mix.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, as desired.
Step 7
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Ginger Lemonade Sekanji over the ice.
Step 8
Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf and a slice of lemon for an extra refreshing touch.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Ginger Lemonade Sekanji!
