GINGER – LEMON – CHILI SYRUP

Summer is around the corner and the days filled with sunshine are coming. And how good does a fresh homemade lemonade tastes during these sunny days? I made this one with ginger, lemon and chili peppers… Delicious! Enough with those soda’s and unhealthy sugars.

This syrup is a go to and to have at home at all times.

Add a little bit of sparkling water and there you go, your delicious homemade lemonade.

You can also make it with mineral water and then you get an amazing ice tea. I prefer the lemonade! What is your preference?
