Categories     non-alcoholic drinks

Yield 12 to 16 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ounces fresh ginger, peeled and sliced paper thin
2 medium lemons, preferably organic, well washed
1/3 cup honey, more to taste
Ice cubes and mint sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine ginger and 2 quarts cold water in a large pot. Cut lemons in half and squeeze into pot, straining out pits. Drop lemon halves into pot and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover and let steep 30 minutes. Stir in honey, then taste for sweetness, adding more to taste. Strain mixture into a container and discard solids. Let cool to room temperature, then chill until very cold.
  • Working in small batches, pour cold mixture into the bottle of a carbonator, filling it not more than 1/3 full (this will give the mixture room to foam). Charge with CO2 until very fizzy, waiting between charges for foam to subside completely. (This can take up to 2 minutes, so be patient.)
  • Very slowly, as if opening a bottle of soda, release the bottle from the carbonator. Serve immediately, or cover tightly and chill. (Extra soda mixture can be refrigerated for up to a week, and can be served carbonated or flat.) To serve, pour over ice and top with a mint sprig. If desired, add a slug of rum to each glass.

Time 35m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups unbleached cane sugar (preferably organic)
3/4 cup water
1/2 lb fresh gingerroot, washed and sliced into quarter-inch thick rounds
1 large lemon, washed, half sliced into quarter-inch thick rounds and the other half sliced into wheels for serving
ice
3/4 cup seltzer water or 3/4 cup sparkling water

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil and use a wooden spoon to stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and set the simple syrup aside to cool for 5 minutes.

Begin blending on the lowest speed until the ginger and lemon are roughly chopped, about 1 minute. Turn off the blender and let the ginger-lemon syrup steep for 10 minutes. Repeat, this time blending the ginger-lemon syrup on medium speed for 1 minute before turning the blender off and steeping for 10 minutes more.
  • Strain the ginger-lemon syrup through a fine-meshed sieve lined with 2 layers of water-moistened cheesecloth, set over a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula to help push the mixture through.
  • Fill a glass with ice, add 3/4 cup seltzer water. Top with ΒΌ cup ginger-lemon syrup and use the spoon to stir. Adjust the flavor with more ginger-lemon syrup or seltzer as needed. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
  • The remaining ginger-lemon syrup can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
