Limeade
If we’re not drinking beer with our Vietnamese food, we always order limeade, lemonade’s cooler sibling. In our version, we use a ginger-infused simple syrup for a little extra kick.
1. To make the ginger simple syrup, combine sugar, chopped ginger, and ¾ cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar is dissolved, turn off the heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes.
3. Strain and cool to room temperature.
4. Combine the cooled simple syrup, lime juice, and remaining 3 cups water.
5. Serve chilled or over ice.
