ginger lemonade

3 cups sugar
4 quarts water
14 slices fresh ginger root
4 cups fresh lemon juice
2 lemons, sliced

In an 8-quart saucepan combine sugar, water and ginger root. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice. Cool 15 minutes. Remove ginger. Refrigerate lemonade at least 1 hour, or until chilled. Serve over ice, and garnish with lemon slices, if you're feeling fancy.....

 

mmm, that would be good.

 

y'know, if you grate the ginger with a cheese grater, the taste is much more powerful.

 

Try mixing equal parts lemonade and sweet tea for a drink called an "Arnold Palmer."
