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.

GINGER LEMON SODA



Ginger Lemon Soda image

Even though I originally conceived of this as my take on homemade ginger ale, I'm hesitant to call it that. It's such a far cry from the sugary bottled stuff. It has an intense gingery heat that's heightened by the acidity from the lemon. Be sure to use a fresh bottle of club soda here. (I prefer the little bottles of Schweppes.) You need the fizziness to deliver the flavor.

Yield Makes 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/4 cup Ginger Syrup (page 244)
3/4 cup club soda

Steps:

  • Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the syrup, then the soda. Stir with a straw and serve immediately.
