Ingredients

FOR THE JUICE

  • 25 g ginger
  • 25 cl water

TO SERVE

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  • Peel the ginger. Using a spoon or vegetable peeler, peel the fresh ginger, then finely grate it.
  • Heat the water. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Infuse the ginger. Remove the pan from the heat, add the grated ginger, and let it steep for 10 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how strong you want the ginger flavor to be. The longer it steeps, the more intense and spicy the drink will be.
  • Strain the ginger juice. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bottle or jar, pressing gently on the grated ginger to extract as much liquid as possible. Let it cool, then cover and refrigerate.
  • Serve. Pour the ginger juice into a glass and add fresh lemon juice or a few lemon slices. Sweeten with a little honey or maple syrup, if desired. For a little extra heat, add a small pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Chill and enjoy. Add a few ice cubes and serve cold.

Notes

The longer the ginger steeps, the stronger and spicier the flavor will be. For a milder ginger juice, 10 to 15 minutes is plenty; if you like a more intense ginger kick, let it steep for up to 1 hour.
