I love ginger, the smell, the taste, it’s amazing stuff.

For the longest time I didn’t know that ginger was used in anything other than ginger snaps and ginger ale. As I got older wiser, I learned that there is so much more to this creepy looking root than meets the eye.

Of course everyone knows that it is used a lot in Japanese cooking, like pickled ginger, yum! But, did you know that it’s used a lot in American cooking as well? Besides ginger snaps and ginger ale, it’s used in many different recipes, like carrot cake or citrus ginger tilapia, google “ginger recipes” you’ll see what I mean. 

I recently learned a new way to use ginger. Buffalo Wild Wings had a ginger lemonade on the menu and since I love ginger so much I had to try it and I’m so glad I did. I’m hooked, addicted, obsessed and dependent on the stuff so I figured out how to make it myself so that I could have it whenever I wanted. Try it, you’ll see what I mean.

Ginger Lemonade

Ginger Root: Ginger has a spicy, woody flavor and adds a really amazing flavor to the lemonade. When choosing the ginger look for firm, light brown, thin skinned pieces, these have the best flavor. To peel it you can use a potato peeler but using the thin edge of a spoon and scraping the skin away works best because it doesn’t waste the ginger.

Lemon: When choosing lemons, look for ones that are firm, have a deep yellow color and have a fine texture. You also want lemons that are heavy and have a thin skin, they have more juice.
