You’ll Need:

• 4–6 lemons (enough for about 1 cup of freshly squeezed juice)
• 1–2 inches (2 to 5 cm) of fresh ginger root
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar or another sweetener (adjust to taste)
• 4 cups of water (plus more if desired)
• Ice cubes
• Optional: lemon slices, ginger slices, mint for garnish

1. Make the ginger infusion
   Peel and slice the ginger in small pieces. Bring 1 cup of water to a gentle boil, toss in the ginger, lower the heat, and let it simmer for about 5–10 minutes. This step lets the ginger’s flavor seep fully into the water.
2. Juice your lemons
   While ginger simmers, cut the lemons and squeeze out the juice. You should end up with around 1 cup. Remove seeds but keep pulp  for extra texture and depth.
3. Sweeten
   When the ginger infusion is ready, strain it into a pitcher to catch the slices. Stir in your chosen sweetener into the warm liquid so it dissolves fully. It should be gently sweet but still tangy.
4. Combine
   Add lemon juice to the flavored liquid. Pour in the remaining water so you reach around 4 cups of total liquid and Stir well.
5. Chill
   Let it cool in the fridge for 30 minutes, or serve right away over ice if you’re impatient
