A twist on classic lemonade, this Sparkling Honey Ginger Lemonade Recipe is just as easy to make but loaded with flavor thanks to the ginger, honey, and mint.
Chop The Ginger: Use the back of a teaspoon to peel the ginger then finely chop it. Place chopped ginger in a mini food processor and pulse until it's pulverized.
Juice The Lemons: Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, remove the lemon peel in strips, making sure to avoid the white pith. Juice all the lemons (you should have about 1 cup of juice).
Steep The Lemon And Ginger: Bring the 4 cups of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and lemon peels and set aside off the heat to steep for 10 minutes.
Chill The Lemonade: Remove the liquid from the heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl. Add the 1 cup of ice water, the juice, and honey and stir to combine. Place it in the refrigerator until it is thoroughly chilled, about 45 minutes.
Strain The Lemonade: Once the mixture is cold, pass it through a fine mesh strainer to remove the ginger and lemon peel then discard them. Add the club soda to the strained gingerade and serve immediately.
Serve: To make one lemonade, smack two sprigs of mint between your hands, drop in a glass then add ice (if using) and top with gingerade.
