We discovered this recipe a week ago and we’ve already made two large batches, because it’s THAT good. I used a mesh strainer for the first batch, but I’m cheesecloth all the way if you can get your hands on it. Just makes squeezing all that lovely gingery goodness so much easier. Also, we eliminated the sugar completely and a tbsp of this stuff is perfect with ice and club soda. Thanks C+K. Your recipes have yet to disappoint us!

I rarely find a recipe online that doesn’t contain endless waffle and ‘lifestyle’ nonsense – Not this one, I have adapted it to suit our taste.

I tried a few different methods at first and found we were getting through so much of it that time needed to be shaved off the process.
I used molasses as a sweetner, Agave syrup then Zylotol across a few batches, all with success but I now have ‘my way’ and have stopped sweetening it altogether.
I use only organic Ginger that gets washed and not peeled, then chopped and stuffed into about 3/4 height of a blender, then add cold water and a couple of chopped peeled lemons, then blitzed with water.
A minute or so later, I take strain and squeeze through muslin, then return the pulp for a quick second whizz in the blender with more water with the aim of creating about a litre of finished juice.
We don’t miss the sweetening aspect at all and the old Belvoir brand we replaced is much too sweet by contrast now and theirs contains chilli not just ginger.
This is 100% ginger, water and lemon – there is a settling of white ginger at the bottom of the bottle, all quite natural.
Sometimes I use limes and also I add ascorbic acid powder (Vitamin C) to the drink when preparing.
This all takes about 5 minutes with enough for the week.
Enjoy !

Looks like a great recipe ! I’d love to try it but can’t seem to find any water labeled ”filtered” where I live. Is it possible to make it using regular tap water or store bought water bottles ? Thank you!

Hi Judy what sugar substitute do you use. Need to watch the blood sugar levels of my partner so I don’t use sugar. Thanks Doris

I make this a lot and I always wonder if there’s a use for that pulp. In soup, bread, coat chicken with flour and pulp?

In reply to Chris in Cleveland. Hi Chris, sorry to disappoint but I don't have recommendations outside of this recipe for sweetener. This is what I find works best.
