Ingredients
-
1 Tbsp (6 g)freshly grated ginger
-
20fresh mint leaves, or more as desired
-
3lemons, juiced
-
3 cups (720 mL)water
-
2 cups (222 g)ice cubes
Directions
- Gather the grated ginger into your hands and squeeze over a pitcher to extract the juice*. Discard the pulp. For a more subtle ginger flavour, simply cut the ginger into slices and add it to the pitcher, instead of grating and squeezing.
- Add the mint to the pitcher, and use a wooden spatula or wooden tamper to give the mint a mash. We want to bruise the mint leaves slightly to extract their flavours.
- Then add the lemon juice, water, ice cubes, and syrup. Stir, add more syrup if the drink tastes too tart, and serve immediately. Cheers!
Notes
- * Squeezing the ginger by hand can irritate your skin, especially if you have any cuts. Alternatively, you can use a nut milk bag to squeeze out the liquid or place the ginger into a juicer.
Storage
- The ginger, lemon juice, and syrup concentrate can be prepared and kept in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. Simply dilute with water and ice cubes when you're ready for a refreshing drink.

Delicious and refreshing. Iβd certainly make again.
Fragrance of mint lemon gingerβ¦just πππ refreshing
This lemonade is so full of flavour!
We used 1 and a half lemons for a milder taste and maple syrop instead of agave one.
Definitely will try other summer drinks from the video :)
It's a very taste drink!!
I sometimes add a few star anises and leave them with the water, and it adds some extra flavour ;)
Delicious and very easy to make
It's very sour!! π but I love it, I'll add more syrup to make it sweeter
Very very delicious !!!
Very very good! All my children loved it.
Very delicious! Not too sweet and has this touch of healthiness. I added some sparkling water as well!
Its very refreshing! Everyone loved it! Thank you for the recipe!
Itβs cool, refreshing, not too sweet and itβs got a little bit of a kick to it. π I might have drank all the 3 serving at once π
Very refreshing and tasty for summer!
I used fresh mint from my garden!
Deliciously refreshing and simple :)
I made this and oh my gosh, it is the best drink Iβve ever had! The gingery flavor is so lovely! My dad especially loved it π π
I never knew ginger could taste that well! I have no mint or syrup at hand, but the drink still tastes so great :)
I made this for a party recently and it was a big hit- multiple people asked me for the recipe.
Loved the flavor of ginger.
Love this in the summer!
this drink is so refreshing and simple to prepare...one question pls..... where does the 15mg sodium come from? Is it good for people with high BP? Thanks
Thank you for the ginger tip, Sadia! Mind-blowing! :-D
This is great! Do you think this could work in a beverage dispenser? Any adjustments? maybe not the ice?
- Thanks!
I love a creative lemonade in summer! π
I made this and drank it instead of my morning tea and wow! Its so refreshing. I substituted honey for agave as it was what i had on hand. I will continue to make this for the summer months
