The Benefits of Ginger
Ginger isn’t just great for flavour; it’s a powerhouse when it comes to digestion. It helps soothe the stomach, supports healthy digestion, and can even reduce inflammation. Combined with Mānuka honey, ginger makes this lemonade an unbeatable duo for supporting your gut and overall health.
What You’ll Need:
- 1-2 tablespoons of Mānuka Honey (adjust to taste)
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 4 cups of cold water or sparkling water for a fizzy twist
- Ice cubes (optional, but we highly recommend them!)
- Lemon slices, for garnish
How to Make It:
-
Prepare the Ginger: Grate the fresh ginger. If you prefer a milder ginger flavour, you can grate just half an inch of ginger. If you’re craving a bit more spice, feel free to add more!
-
Mix the Lemon & Mānuka Honey: In a large jug, combine the fresh lemon juice and Mānuka honey. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved. This may take a minute, but trust us, it’s worth the wait for that smooth, golden sweetness!
-
Add Ginger & Water: Add the grated ginger and cold water (or sparkling water if you want a little fizz!). Stir to combine everything.
-
Serve and Garnish: Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the lemonade over the top, and garnish with a slice of lemon for a refreshing look.
