What is Ginger Lemon Drink?
Ginger lemon drink is typically made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, ginger juice (you can use fresh sliced or minced ginger to make ginger syrup), sugar or honey, and water or sparkling water. The ginger's subtle tanginess and the lemon's sweet and sour refreshing properties create a soothing and refreshing feeling. Ginger also warms the stomach and promotes blood circulation, while lemon, rich in vitamin C, offers antioxidant benefits and helps brighten and reduce dark spots.
