ST. LOUIS —
Blueberry-Ginger Lemonade
This recipe serves 4 people
Ingredients
4oz lemon juice
6oz ginger simple syrup
4oz water
4oz sugar in the raw
2oz sliced ginger
2oz fresh blueberries
20oz distilled water
1 tray of ice cubes
Step 1
Make the ginger simple syrup by placing the water and sugar in a small sauce pan then turning to medium heat. As the syrup is heating up, peel the ginger, and grate it with a microplane into the pot. Once syrup comes to a boil, turn off heat and let sit on burner until room temperature. Refrigerate overnight.
Chef’s Tips: If you need the syrup quickly, place in a metal or glass bowl and place bowl on top of an ice bath stirring frequently.
Step 2
Either cut the blueberries in half, or smash them in the bottom of a pitcher. Add ice, 6oz of prepared simple syrup, 4oz lemon juice, and 20oz distilled water. Stir to combine and enjoy.
Chefs tip: This lemonade will last in the fridge up to a week.
