Lemon-Ginger Iced Tea image

This Arnold Palmer has just a little kick to it because of the ginger. But it's so good! It's not intended to be a syrupy, sweet tea, so don't load it with sugar. Keep the taste of the ginger as the focal point.

a 4-inch piece fresh gingerroot
6 cups water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
zest of 2 lemons, removed with a vegetable peeler
1 cup fresh lemon juice
Garnish: lemon slices

Steps:

Peel gingerroot and cut crosswise into thin slices. In a medium saucepan boil water, gingerroot, honey, sugar, and zest, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat and steep "tea" covered, 45 minutes. Uncover tea and cool completely.
