Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped peeled ginger, plus slice of ginger for garnish

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup honey

Ice

Seltzer

Preparation

Blend ginger with 1/2 cup water until smooth. Strain, pressing on solids to yield 1/2 cup juice. Stir together ginger juice, lemon juice, and honey. Ginger base can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week. (It makes enough for 10 drinks.)

Fill a glass with ice and add 2 tablespoons ginger base. Top with seltzer and garnish with a slice of ginger.
