1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
4 sprigs fresh mint
2 cups fresh orange or tangerine juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 cups seltzer water
Directions
- Combine the ginger with the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, then strain, reserving the sliced ginger.
