Gingery Limeade Recipes

RECIPE: GINGER LIMEADE

Steps:

• Carefully peel the ginger root using a carrot peeler or sharp knife and then cut the root into smaller pieces. Don't worry about removing all the skin since you'll pass the juice through a strainer.
• Add the ginger pieces to a food processor and pulverize to a chunky pulp. Add the ginger to a tea pot.
• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then pour the water over the ginger in the tea pot as if you were making tea. Let it steep for 10 minutes.
• While the ginger is steeping, roll the limes between your palms and the counter top to loosen up the juices. Then cut them in half and juice the limes using a citrus reamer or juicer and pour the lime juice into a pitcher.
• After the ginger is finished steeping, pour the ginger tea through a mesh strainer into to pitcher with the lime juice. Next ddd the honey and stir until dissolved.
• Add the remaining 4 cups of water, or for a natural ginger ale, add 4 cups of seltzer water instead.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan stir together 2 cups of the water, the sugar, and the ginger, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer it for 3 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve set over a bowl and let it cool. In a pitcher combine the cooled syrup, the remaining 1 1/2 cups water, and the lime juice and stir the limeade well.

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
• To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
• To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
• Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.
