Ingredients: 

  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 200 g white sugar
  • 200 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 500 ml water
  • decoration: a few lemon and orange slices, a few leaves of mint and rosemary
  • still or sparkling water

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine ginger powder, sugar and water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar.
  • Add lemon juice and allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
