Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, the agave, and the chopped fresh ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, cook for 10 minutes to extract the ginger flavor. Remove from the heat.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add lemon juice and remaining water to glass bottles or a large pitcher. Place a strainer with cheesecloth over the jar/lemon mixture and pass the ginger syrup through it, removing any small pieces of ginger. Leave the last lot of ginger to strain over the jar.

Step 3

Lemonade will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 5 days, or freeze in popsicle molds for a sweet, cold treat! Can also be frozen into ice cubes and added to summer beverages.

Step 4

Whisk the lemonade well to mix in the ginger syrup, and serve it over ice. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve on its own or as a mixer with tequila, gin, or vodka.

Step 5

Makes 1 litre. Double the recipe. Leave out for a couple of days in the large jar before pouring into bottles then ferment longer for fermentation and to produce probiotics, then refrigerate
