5 healthy lemon-ginger drinks for the cold season.

1. Lemon and ginger water

Ginger lemonade is an easy-to-make drink. Here are some suggested ingredients: 1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh ginger (about 100g, depending on taste), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 4 large lemons), 4 cups cold water.

Note that this lemon-ginger drink recipe can be customized based on your desired level of spiciness. Use ¾ cup of sliced ​​ginger for a spicy kick, but use only ½ cup for a milder, less spicy flavor.

Wash the ginger, leave the peel on, and slice it. Squeeze the lemon to extract the juice. Mix the ginger and sugar and bring to a boil. Blend everything in a blender until a smooth liquid is formed. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any ginger peel; otherwise, sediment will rise to the top. Mix the ginger syrup with the lemon juice and water in a pitcher. Serve with ice or refrigerate depending on the weather and your preference.

2. Lemon, ginger, and apple juice

Ingredient:Crushed ginger, 2 teaspoons Brown sugar, 2 teaspoons Lemon juice, 4 teaspoons Fresh or canned apple juice, 2 cups (480 ml) Fresh apple, 1 medium apple, sliced ​​lengthwise Ice cubes

If you don't have a blender, use a mortar and pestle to grind the ginger, brown sugar, and lemon juice until well combined. Strain the ginger-lemon mixture and pour it into a glass. Add sliced ​​apples and optionally ice cubes, then pour in the strained ginger-lemon mixture and enjoy.

3. Lemon-ginger water with honey and apple

This easy-to-make drink is not only healthy but also awakens the senses. The natural sweetness of apples and honey is balanced by lemon juice, and a touch of cayenne pepper provides a warming sensation during the cold season.

Ingredient:2 lemons, peeled and sliced ​​apple, ¼ cup peeled and chopped fresh ginger, ¾ cup 100% apple juice, 1 tablespoon honey, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ⅛ teaspoon salt or a few grains of salt.

Combine the lemon, apple, ginger, and 1/2 cup of apple juice in a blender on high speed until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve and discard the pulp. Stir in the honey, cayenne pepper, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup of apple juice. Sprinkle with more cayenne pepper on top of each serving if desired.

4. Lemon, ginger, apple, and kale drink

This lemonade has a sweet and sour taste, provides energy, is rich in nutrients, and contains many vitamins and minerals. It's a great option as a fruit juice or smoothie blend that contains fiber.

Ingredient:1 apple, 1 small piece of fresh ginger, 3 large kale stalks, ½ lemon.

Making:Slice the apple into small pieces and remove the core. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon. Chop the kale into small pieces. Put all the ingredients, including the ginger, into a blender.

This recipe can be made with a juicer; however, using a blender is better as it retains the fiber and provides excellent flavor and texture.
