Ingredients
- 6 cups cold carbonated water
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 cup peeled and coarsely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 cups pitted dates (tightly packed)
Instructions
- Add the dates, ginger, and 4 cups of cold water to a pot and bring to a boil, then continue to boil, uncovered for 25 minutes.
- Strain the mixture to remove the date and ginger chunks and reserve the syrup (to avoid waste, you can save and freeze the dates and ginger to blend into smoothies).
- Mix the syrup and 6 cups of carbonated water in a large pitcher, then serve with ice.
Notes
- If you're making this for a large group, prepare a double or triple batch of the syrup in advance, then mix with cold carbonated water right before serving.
- Optional garnishes include fresh mint, lime, or lemon slices.
