Ginger Lemonade

Ingredients:

  • Fresh ginger
  • Juice of 3 lemons
  • 1/3 cup Honey (or sweetener of choice)
  • 2 quarts water

Instructions:

  1. Place water on the stove to boil. Peel a good 2-3-inch slice of ginger (depending on how you like ginger).
  2. Grate the ginger over a fine mesh grater. Squeeze the freshly grated pulp to remove the juice. Discard dry pulp.
  3. When water boils, add the lemon and ginger juice. Let steep for 20 minutes, and then add the honey

This is very refreshing!

 

 

Genmai-cha Recipe
Genmai-cha: a blend of traditional Green Tea and Roasted Brown Rice.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbs rice
  • 4 cups water
  • Green Tea

Instructions:

  1. Put the rice in a small, cast-iron skillet and set over a med-low flame.
  2. Stir the grains until they turn dark in spots and give out a nice roasted aroma.
  3. Put the rice kernels into a small pot. Add 4 cups boiling water.
  4. Simmer for 1 minute. Cover, and turn off the heat.
  5. Let the "Rice Tea" steep for 3 minutes. Now add some dry Green Tea (enough to make 4 c.) to the "Rice Tea".
  6. Cover, and let steep another 3 minutes.
  7. Strain and serve.
The Rice Tea is nice by itself and the Genmai-cha makes a great ice tea.
