Ginger lemonade

I took Sonja’s blog event "Refreshing Summer" as an opportunity to finally publish the ginger lemonade recipe. I have prepared this lemonade the first time 2 years ago. I prepare this lemonade quite frequent, so it was time to share the recipe with you. If you like lemonade then you should try this also as it tastes great.

You need:

1,5 l Water

3 organic lemons

50 g fresh ginger

3 stalks basil

75 g Sugar

This is how we proceed:

1. Cut 2 lemons in half and juice them. Peel the ginger and cut into slices; wash and pat dry the basil.
2. Add water, sugar, lemon juice and ginger in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, add basil and let cool.
3. Wash the remaining lemon, dry it and cut into wedges. Pour the Lemonade in jug, add lemon wedges and chill. 

You should drink the ginger lemonade within 2 days otherwise it will turn bitter.
