The Gambia Lemon Ginger Tea (Gingembre)

1. 1

   Peel and grate fresh ginger root (a little skin doesn't matter, it will be strained). Add to a small pot with sugar, lemons and water.

2. 2

   Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the sugar dissolves.

3. 3

   Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Let steep for 15 minutes to 1 hour, as desired.

5. 5

   Strain the mixture.

6. 6

   Add strained liquid to a pitcher and fill it the rest of the way with ice. This will cool it down and dilute it some.

7. 7

   Serve over more ice, diluted with more water, to taste.

8. 8

   Spicy hot and icy cold, heavenly!
