01 - 1/2 cup (60 g) fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
02 - 1 cup (240 ml) water
03 - 1/2 cup (100 g) raw honey or maple syrup

06 - 2 tablespoons prebiotic fiber powder (e.g., inulin or acacia fiber)
07 - Ice cubes, to serve

→ Garnish (optional)

08 - Lemon slices

# Method:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine ginger slices and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, strain out the ginger, and stir in honey or maple syrup until dissolved. Let cool completely.
02 - In a large pitcher, combine the cooled ginger syrup, lemon juice, cold water, and prebiotic fiber powder. Whisk or stir vigorously to ensure the fiber dissolves.
03 - Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
04 - Add ice cubes to the pitcher or serve over ice in glasses.
05 - Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The ginger syrup gives each sip a little spark—think lemonade but with a secret spicy kick that keeps you wanting more.
  • It’s easy on the tummy and bright enough to lift your spirits on even the most sluggish days.
02 -
  • If you rush and add prebiotic powder before the syrup cools, it can clump—wait for it to chill first.
  • Simmering the ginger a little longer deepens the flavor, but keep an eye out or it might get too powerful if you forget it on the stove (been there).
03 -
  • Let the ginger syrup cool completely—it makes mixing smoother and prevents grittiness.
  • Whisking prebiotic powder with just a small amount of liquid first makes it dissolve without lumps before adding the rest.
