Raw Gingerale

My favourite summer drink...

• 2 fresh knots of ginger peeled and sliced (the more ginger the spicer it will be).
• A large mason jar
  
• 1 lemon sliced. Fill the jar with fresh water ginger and lemon slices.
• Agave or honey to taste (I don't use any sweetener in mine - if you don't like a sugary taste try it without - very gingery and delicious!)
• Club soda (if you want some fizz - but yummy mixed with plain water as well)
  

Put ginger, lemon and water in a jar, cover and set in a sunny hot window or on the porch for a day. This makes your ginger base. Mix to taste with club soda/sweetener and lots of ice any time you want a refreshing summer drink ( I use about 1/4 cup to one can of club soda - I like mine spicy - experiment by putting in 1T at a time until you get the ratio right). Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
