Ingredients for 4 people
- 40 g fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 150 g sugar
- 4 lemon, the juice, about 150 ml
- 1.000 ml water, 250 ml for the syrup, the rest cold
- 10 tbsp fresh mint, the leaves, optional
Method
- Bring the ginger to the boil with the sugar and 250 ml of water and boil for 2 min. Turn off the heat and let it steep for 30 min.
- Strain the syrup and let it cool.
- Mix the syrup with the lemon juice and 750 ml of cold water in a jug. Taste, and dilute with more water if it is too strong.
- Chill for at least half an hour and pour with ice and mint.
Tip
The syrup on its own keeps for two weeks in the fridge. With sparkling water instead of tap water it becomes an alcohol-free ginger beer.
Keeps for 3 days in the fridge
