4 servings
For the ginger syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 oz fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit whole fruits, roots, and botanicals that add fiber. The fresh ginger here is infused and then strained out, leaving virtually no residue, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the lemonade
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 6–8 lemons)
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lemon juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
