# What you'll need:

→ Ginger Syrup

01 - 1/2 cup (60 g) fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
02 - 1 cup (240 ml) water
03 - 1/2 cup (100 g) raw honey or maple syrup

→ Lemonade Base

04 - 3/4 cup (180 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
05 - 1.5 liters cold filtered water
06 - 2 tablespoons prebiotic fiber powder (e.g., inulin or acacia fiber)
07 - Ice cubes, to serve

→ Garnish (optional)

08 - Lemon slices
09 - Fresh mint leaves

# How to make it:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine ginger slices and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, strain out the ginger, and stir in honey or maple syrup until dissolved. Let cool completely.
02 - In a large pitcher, combine the cooled ginger syrup, lemon juice, cold water, and prebiotic fiber powder. Whisk or stir vigorously to ensure the fiber dissolves.
03 - Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
04 - Add ice cubes to the pitcher or serve over ice in glasses.
05 - Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if desired.
