Ingredients
For the lemonade:
- 1 cup (250 ml) lemon juice, freshly squeezed (5–7 lemons)
- honey syrup with ginger and turmeric
- 2 cups (500 ml) cold mineral water
- ¼ cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups (500 ml) cold sparkling water
- ice, for serving
- lime, sliced, for garnish
- thyme, for garnish
For the honey syrup with ginger and turmeric:
- 1/4 cup (84 g) Oros Machaira honey
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
- 45 g fresh ginger root, peeled and finely grated
- 45 g fresh turmeric, finely grated
Method
For the lemonade:
Squeeze 5–7 lemons (depending on their size) with the electric juicer and transfer the freshly squeezed lemon juice to a large jug.
Add the honey syrup with ginger and turmeric, the cold mineral water, the apple cider vinegar and place in the fridge until we serve.
Just before serving, add the cold sparkling water to the jug.
Serve in 4 to 6 glasses (depending on their size) with ice, lime slices and thyme and enjoy.
For the honey syrup with ginger:
In a medium-sized saucepan we pour in the honey and the water and allow it to simmer, stirring constantly until the honey is completely dissolved in the water.
Turn off the heat, add the finely grated ginger and turmeric, cover the saucepan and leave for 30 minutes.
Strain the syrup and set it aside to cool for 60 minutes.
