Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Citrus juicer
  • Fine grater
  • Pitcher
  • Strainer

Instructions

1

Juice the oranges. Keep the pulp or strain according to taste.

Tip: Pulp slows down sugar absorption, making it healthier to keep it.
2

Peel ginger and grate it on a fine microplane.

Tip: Ginger fibers are tough, so fine grating is key. Or just squeeze the juice from the grated pile.
3

Dissolve honey in the warm water.

Tip: Honey would seize in cold orange juice. Diluting helps homogenization.
4

Mix orange juice, grated ginger (or juice), and honey water.

Tip: Taste! If too spicy, add more water or orange.
5

Fill glasses with ice and pour the drink over.

Tip: Ice mellows the heat of the ginger.
