What goes in

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 cup water
• 1 medium piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
• 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 4 cups water
• Fresh mint leaves

How it comes together

1. To make the honey ginger simple syrup: In a small pot or tea kettle, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat off and add honey and sliced ginger and let sit for 20 minutes (or you can pour boiling water from a tea kettle over honey and sliced ginger).
2. While the honey and ginger are steeping, juice the lemons and pour into a large pitcher. Add water and ice.
3. Strain out the ginger and add the honey-ginger syrup to the pitcher and mix well. Add fresh mint leaves and refrigerate or serve immediately over ice.
