Instructions
Wash and peel the ginger, then chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
5 ounces ginger(about a cup peeled and chopped into smaller piece)
Juice the lemons to get fresh lemon juice.
2 large lemon (juiced)
Gently wash the mint leaves and pat them dry.
14 leaves fresh mint
Place the chopped ginger pieces in a blender.
Add the fresh lemon juice and mint leaves to the blender.
Pour in 1 cup of water for easy blending.
Blend the mixture on high until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Set a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl.
Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to separate the liquid from any solids. Use a spoon to press down on the solids to extract more liquid.
If using honey, gently warm it to make it easier to mix. Add the honey to the strained liquid and stir until it's completely dissolved. If using sugar, you can add it directly to the mixture.
½ cup honey (you can use sugar)
Gradually add the remaining 5 cups of water (or adjust as desired) to the mixture, stirring well to combine.
6 cups water (or as desired)
Pour the homemade ginger lemon mint drink into glasses filled with ice and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
