A refreshing and tangy drink perfect for hot days, combining the zest of ginger with the tang of lime.
Grate the fresh ginger to extract its flavor.
Grating the ginger releases more flavor compared to chopping.
Mix the grated ginger with filtered water in a pitcher.
Use cold water to keep the flavors fresh.
Strain the mixture to remove ginger solids, leaving a clear concentrate.
Press the ginger solids with a spoon to extract all the juice.
Add granulated sugar to the ginger concentrate and stir until dissolved.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar.
Squeeze the juice from the fresh limes and add it to the ginger concentrate.
Roll the limes on a flat surface before juicing to extract more juice.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Chilling enhances the flavors and makes the drink more refreshing.
Serve the limeade over ice, garnished with fresh mint leaves.
Crush the mint leaves slightly to release their aroma before garnishing.
