Ginger Lemonade

You know the $8 lemon agave "cleansing" juice you buy at Whole Foods? Good news: you can make it at home for about one quarter of the price, and it tastes just as great! This ginger lemonade is healthy, invigorating and packs a ton of vitamin C for immunity.

All you'll need is four simple ingredients. A whole bunch of lemons, water, agave and ginger. Plus, a juicer or blender (we've included instructions for both). We actually juiced entire lemons, peel and all, for this ginger lemonade. Of course, you can certainly remove the peel if you'd prefer a less bitter taste.

Don't worry, lemon peels are perfectly edible, and actually quite nutritious! Please note that you should wash & scrub the lemon well before using the peel. Citrus fruit is often sprayed with pesticides and other toxic substances. Although it's typically fine to buy regular lemons instead of organic, we suggest buying organic if you're using the whole thing.
