Ginger Lemonade

Ginger Lemonade from thelittlekitchen.net

I love ginger anything, especially this ginger lemonade drink and even ginger candy. Growing up, my Mom cooked a lot with ginger. I love love it! My best friend, Lindsay, loves ginger beer and got me addicted to it. If you have never had it before, just think root beer but instead of being dark, it's lightly colored and it's made with ginger root. To me, the spicier the root beer, the better!

Trip to Zurich, Switzerland thelittlekitchen.net

In my recent Zurich trip recap, I shared that we went to the oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world (according to Guinness World Record). It was open in 1898 and even has a vegetarian butcher shop! It's called Hiltl.

We had a vegetarian steak tartare that tasted just like beef!

And for lunch, I had a vegetarian hamburger…it was amazing and so were the fries!

I also had a ginger citrus drink and I knew I wanted to come home and recreate it!

Squeeze the lemons.

And mix with sugar and water. Add more sugar if you'd like.

I peel the ginger with the edge of a spoon.

And then grate it.

Honestly if you would like more ginger, you can add more. That's what I would do! If you like a less gingery taste, add less. You can customize it to your taste!

The next time I make these, I'm going to add a little gin to it! I hope you love this ginger lemonade drink just as much as I do!
