Instructions

  1. Peel the sugarcane sections with a knife, then split them into long strips to release the juice.
  2. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan with the cane strips and the ginger slices.
  3. Let it steep over low heat for 15 minutes, until the water takes on a slightly golden tint.
  4. Add the lime zest and juice, then the sugar, and stir until dissolved.
  5. Strain the infusion and serve it warm, or let it cool in the fridge.

Variations and tips

Iced version. Let it cool completely and serve with ice cubes and a fresh mint leaf.

Using what you can find here. Replace the sugarcane with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a little bottled sugarcane juice if fresh cane isn't available.
