Lemon juice - 1 cup
Water - 2 cups
Sugar - 2 cups
Ginger - a small piece
Salt
Peel the ginger and crush it coarsely using a mortar and pestle.
Combine sugar, water, and ginger pieces in a pot and boil until the sugar reaches a one-string consistency. Turn off the heat, cover, and let it cool completely. Remove the ginger. Add a pinch of salt.
Strain the fresh lemon juice and mix it with the sugar syrup. The lemon syrup is now ready.
Store it in a clean glass bottle.
When serving, mix 2-3 tablespoons of lemon syrup with 1 cup of water. You can add mint leaves and fresh lemon wedges while serving.
