Ingredients
- 12 SERVINGS
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries or raspberries, or a combination
- 4 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 32 lemons)
- Lemon slices for garnish
Preparation
Step 1
In a large saucepan over high heat, combine sugar and ginger with 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Boil for 15 minutes.
Transfer from heat, and let cool for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, discarding solids, and refrigerate until well chilled.
Set aside about a third of the berries for garnish.
In a blender or food processor, process remaining berries until smooth. Strain puree through a mesh sieve, pressing berries with back of a wooden spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids.
In a pitcher, combine ginger syrup, strained berries and lemon juice.
Serve over ice, garnished with reserved berries and lemon slices.
