Ginger Prebiotic Lemonade

# What You'll Need:

→ Ginger Syrup

01 - 1/2 cup fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced

02 - 1 cup water

03 - 1/2 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup

→ Lemonade Base

04 - 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)

05 - 6 1/3 cups cold filtered water (about 1.6 quarts)

06 - 2 tablespoons prebiotic fiber powder (inulin or acacia fiber)

07 - Ice cubes, to serve

→ Garnish (optional)

08 - Lemon slices

09 - Fresh mint leaves

# Directions:

01 - Place sliced ginger and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, strain out the ginger solids, and stir in honey or maple syrup until fully dissolved. Cool the syrup to room temperature.

02 - In a large pitcher, pour the cooled ginger syrup, add the lemon juice and cold filtered water. Sprinkle in the prebiotic fiber powder and whisk briskly until the powder is fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform.

03 - Sample the beverage and adjust sweetness by adding additional honey or maple syrup if desired. If using a sugar-free sweetener, dissolve it in a small amount of warm water before adding.

04 - Add ice cubes to the pitcher or fill individual glasses with ice and pour the lemonade over. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves as preferred.

05 - For a sparkling variation, replace half the cold water with chilled sparkling water just before serving. Refrigerate any leftover lemonade and consume chilled within 48 hours.

Your gut will thank you quietly for each zippy, probiotic-rich glass
It’s honestly the lemonade I never knew I needed until every friend asked for a refill

02 -

If you rush and add the fiber powder before the syrup cools, you could end up with a gummy mess—I learned this the hard way.
Letting the ginger syrup rest after straining lets the flavors mellow and balance perfectly, rather than staying sharp or overpowering.
