Unlike more sugar-laden lemonade, this recipe also free from refined white sugar and is just subtly sweet. The ginger adds a nice spiciness, but if you're not wild about ginger, you can scale back the amount noted in the recipe.


Ingredients

  • 1 piece ginger, peeled and chopped (thumb-size)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (2-3 lemons), de-seeded
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 handful fresh mint
  • 3 cup cold water

Directions

  • Step 1

    Peel and chop your ginger and de-stem your mint.

  • Step 2

    Using a blender or food processor, blend the chopped ginger and lemon juice until smooth.

  • Step 3

    Strain out larger ginger clumps with nutmilk bag or fine mesh strainer over a pitcher or large bowl. Press/squeeze the ginger pulp to remove as much moisture as possible. Discard the ginger/lemon pulp.

  • Step 4

    Stir in maple syrup and mint, mixing well until combined. Add cold water and stir well. You can add additional syrup to taste if you prefer a sweeter lemonade. Divide into glasses with ice. Serve with a slice of lemon and sprig of mint.
