My friend, Ted Tellman, showed up at our weekly Weigh & Pray meeting with some fresh ginger water concentrate he had made for me. It's nice for adding to tea or ice water and adds a fresh little zing to the mix. Ginger also appears to have a number of nice health benefits.Here's a simple recipe for making Mint & Ginger Water. Give it a try and see if you like it.
I'm going to try it with fresh basil from my garden instead of the mint. Fresh citrus slices or cucumbers are nice to add to the mix. Some people even like to add a little apple vinegar and a touch of sweetener. Experiment away and let me know if you make any great discoveries.
Ingredients
1 (four-inch piece) ginger, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 quarts spring water
3 sprigs fresh mint
Directions
Use a mortar and pestle to crush the ginger. Crush mint. Combine water, ginger, and mint in large pitcher. Let steep for 1 hour before serving over ice.
