04 - 3/4 cup (180 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)

# How to Cook:

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.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Youll never guess that a lemonade this vibrant is actually helping your digestion while you sip.
  • Its the kind of drink that makes you feel refreshed in your body and your mood all at once.
02 -
  • I once dumped in the fiber powder too fast and ended up with awkward clumps—add slowly and whisk heartily for a smooth drink.
  • Letting ginger simmer longer intensifies the flavor, but more than 15 minutes turns bitter; watch the clock or you'll taste it.
03 -
  • If you plan ahead, you can make the syrup days before and store it tightly sealed—this makes party prep a breeze.
  • Stir the pitcher just before pouring because fiber loves to settle at the bottom when you aren’t looking.
