Ingredients
- ⅓ C peeled, chopped ginger
- 2-3 Tbsp. water
- ¼ C fresh lemon juice
- 4-6 Tbsp. honey
- 2-4 Tbsp. agave nectar
- 1 liter sparkling water, chilled
- -Place ginger and water in a blender and pulse a few times. Then, blend at high speed until mixture is as smooth as possible.
- -Line a strainer with cheesecloth and pour the blended ginger through. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and squeeze firmly to extract as much juice as possible. (i use a very fine metal sieve…like a tea strainer…or a re-useable linen tea bag works great)
- -In a small pitcher, mix together the ginger juice, lemon juice, honey, and agave nectar until well blended.
- -Pour about ¼ C of the mixture into each of four glasses and add chilled, sparkling water.
- -Serve with ice cubes if desired
This drink tastes so fresh and delicious — great on a hot summer day!
I got the recipe in Yoga Journal. It is originally in The Balanced Plate, by Renee Loux (Rodale, 2006).
