Instructions

  1. Bring the water to a simmer in a saucepan, then add the ginger and sugar.
  2. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Take off the heat, cover and let steep for 20 minutes so the ginger releases its flavor.
  4. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve, pressing the ginger well.
  5. Squeeze the limes and add their juice to the warm syrup.
  6. Let it cool completely, then keep chilled for at least an hour.
  7. When serving, pour into glasses filled with ice cubes and garnish with a mint leaf.

Variations and tips

Sugar-free version. Replace the sugar with agave syrup or stevia, tasting to adjust.

Sparkling version. Top each glass with cold sparkling water just before serving.
