Ingredients for 9 servings:

  • 3 lemons, untreated
  • 60 g fresh ginger
  • 375 g sugar
  • 750 ml water

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 12 minutes; Total time approx. 27 minutes

Lemonade base

Grate the zest of one lemon, squeeze the juice from all the lemons, and reserve the juice. Peel the ginger and slice it thinly. Heat the water and dissolve the sugar in it. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and ginger. Bring to a rolling boil and simmer over low heat for 10-12 minutes. In the meantime, rinse four small bottles (250 ml each with twist-off lids) and sterilize them in the oven at approximately 110°C. Sieve the syrup away from the ginger slices and any foam, then pour into the bottles. Seal immediately and let cool upside down. Pour over cool mineral water or tonic water (approximately 1:6), and this makes a refreshing drink for hot days. As an aperitif, pour over sparkling wine or Prosecco.
