Notes
- Crush the ginger – It brings out more flavor than slicing alone.
- Simmer gently – Once it boils, turn the heat low to avoid bitterness.
- Add lemon later – Let the drink cool first so the lemon stays fresh, not bitter.
- Sweeten to taste – Rock sugar is mild, but you can swap in honey or golden syrup.
- Serve hot or cold – Chill first if serving cold to keep the flavor strong.
