1/2 cup water

2 inch piece fresh ginger, sliced thin

Instructions

0/9

In a small saucepan, combine the honey, regular still water, and sliced ginger over medium heat.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the honey has completely dissolved, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the fresh mint leaves.

Let the syrup steep for at least 10 minutes to allow the ginger and mint flavors to infuse, then strain the syrup into a pitcher and discard the solids.

Add the fresh lemon juice to the pitcher and stir well to combine with the infused syrup.

If the mixture is still warm, place the pitcher in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool down.

Just before serving, pour in the chilled sparkling water and stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over the ice.

Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint for a beautiful presentation.
