Today we are making homemade lemonade. This lemonade recipe is made with real lemons, fresh ginger and thyme. For sweetness we are adding honey instead of sugar as a healthier option. Pure this lemon, ginger, and thyme simple syrup over sparkling water for a refreshing beverage on a hot summer day! Enjoy!
Ginger Thyme Sparkling Lemonade
Ingredients
2 cups water
⅔ cup honey
12 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons lemon zest
¾ cup lemon juice
2 liters cold plain sparkling or still water
12 ounces gin or vodka (optional)
Directions
Combine water, honey, thyme and ginger in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon zest and lemon juice. Let steep for 20 minutes. Add more zest and/or lemon juice for a more lemony flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. (Discard the solids.) Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours or up to 5 days.
To make each drink, combine 1/4 cup of the lemon mixture with 1/2 cup sparkling (or still) water and 1 ounce gin (or vodka), if desired. Garnish with a thyme sprig, if desired.
