Notes & Tips

• Grating the ginger with a fine toothed grater is the best way to get the ginger pulp and juice.

• This recipe tastes just as good as a pure limeade without the ginger. Either way you'll absolutely crave more of it

• You can also buy a bottle of pure lime juice if your don't want to squeeze the limes by hand. However, read the ingredients before purchasing to make sure there are no additives or preservatives.
