Ginger-Berry Lemonade

Preparation

1. Step 1

   In a large saucepan over high heat, combine sugar and ginger with 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Boil for 15 minutes.

2. Step 2

   Transfer from heat, and let cool for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve, discarding solids, and refrigerate until well chilled.

3. Step 3

   Set aside about a third of the berries for garnish. In a blender or food processor, process remaining berries until smooth. Strain puree through a mesh sieve, pressing berries with back of a wooden spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids.

4. Step 4

   In a pitcher, combine ginger syrup, strained berries and lemon juice. Serve over ice, garnished with reserved berries and lemon slices.
