Fresh Gingerade Food

RECIPE: GINGER LIMEADE

Steps:

• Carefully peel the ginger root using a carrot peeler or sharp knife and then cut the root into smaller pieces. Don't worry about removing all the skin since you'll pass the juice through a strainer.
• Add the ginger pieces to a food processor and pulverize to a chunky pulp. Add the ginger to a tea pot.
• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then pour the water over the ginger in the tea pot as if you were making tea. Let it steep for 10 minutes.
• While the ginger is steeping, roll the limes between your palms and the counter top to loosen up the juices. Then cut them in half and juice the limes using a citrus reamer or juicer and pour the lime juice into a pitcher.
• After the ginger is finished steeping, pour the ginger tea through a mesh strainer into to pitcher with the lime juice. Next ddd the honey and stir until dissolved.
• Add the remaining 4 cups of water, or for a natural ginger ale, add 4 cups of seltzer water instead.
