A small measured ginger portion gives this lemonade a clear spicy edge. Blending the ginger into the drink keeps its solids, avoiding an unsupported extraction assumption from a strained ginger syrup.

Step by step
Make it like a pro.
01
Peel and finely grate the ginger, then weigh 4 g edible grated flesh. Measure the lemon juice, honey and cold water.
02
Blend the ginger, lemon juice, honey and water for 30–45 seconds, until the honey is dispersed and the ginger is finely divided.
03
Pour the whole unstrained mixture over the measured ice. Stir gently; the ginger pulp is intentionally retained.
No. The reference blends and consumes all 4 g peeled ginger. Straining would create an unmodeled retained-liquid preparation, so the published estimate does not apply to it.
Can I use ground ginger in honey ginger lemonade?+
Ground ginger is more concentrated and has a different texture and composition. It is not an equal-weight substitute for the 4 g fresh ginger in this version.
Does honey count as added sugar in this drink?+
Yes. Honey is deliberately added as a sweetener. Its naturally present sugars are classified as added sugar in this recipe; it is not a sugar-free lemonade.
