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.

Ingredients

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.
Remove gingerroot and zest with a slotted spoon and discard. Transfer tea to a pitcher and stir in lemon juice. (Chill tea, covered, until cold and up to 2 days.)

For a stronger ginger flavor, use fresh ginger slices instead of ground ginger powder.
If you don't have a juicer, you can grate the ginger and then strain it through a cheesecloth-lined colander.
To make the tea ahead of time, brew it as directed and then let it cool completely. Store the tea in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve the iced tea over ice with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish.
