Refreshing Honey Ginger Lemonade

This Honey Ginger Lemonade is a simple, soothing, and revitalizing drink that balances sweet honey, zesty lemon, and the warming kick of fresh ginger. Whether you’re cooling down on a hot day or looking for a natural immune boost, this easy homemade lemonade hits the spot—served over ice and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cups water (divided: warm and cold)
• 1/2 cup lemon juice (optional, for a stronger citrus flavor)
• Ice cubes, for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the honey-ginger base: In a small bowl, mix the honey with the grated fresh ginger. Add a few tablespoons of warm water (not boiling) and stir until the honey is fully dissolved. This helps infuse the ginger flavor.
2. Combine ingredients: Transfer the honey-ginger mixture into a larger pitcher or jug. Add the remaining cold water and lemon juice if using.
3. Mix well: Stir thoroughly to ensure all components are fully blended. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired.
4. Serve chilled: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the lemonade over. Garnish with a lemon slice or a few mint leaves if desired.
