Ginger Mint Lemonade Recipe (with Video)

Prepare the syrup
1. Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring just until the sugar is just dissolved.
3. Once the syrup is boiling, stop stirring, turn off the heat, and add the ginger and mint leaves.
4. Allow the syrup to steep at room temperature.
5. Once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, strain, and reserve the syrup.
Prepare the lemonade
1. In a large pitcher or food-safe container, combine 1 cup of lemon juice and the water.
2. Stir to combine and adjust the flavoring with the simple syrup and remaining lemon juice.
3. Remember that the lemonade will taste less sweet once chilled, so don’t be afraid to add more simple syrup than you think necessary.
4. Reserve the lemonade in the refrigerator.
5. Garnish with mint sprigs when ready to serve.
