Ingredients

  • 4 gingers (3 large and 1 small)
  • 2 limes (juiced)
  • 5 peppercorns
  • 1/3 cup stevia
  • 6 cups water

Instructions

  • Wash and roughly slice the gingers, leaving the skin on. Set the small ginger that you washed and sliced aside.
  • Pour the ginger into a blender and add the peppercorns and 2 cups of the water. Blend the mixture and then strain with a small sieve strainer. Press the liquid from the ginger pulp using a spoon or your hand.
  • Once the liquid has been separated from the pulp, throw out the pulp and add the remaining cups of water to the liquid.
  • Pour the emudro into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining ginger slices to the pot and bring the emudro to a boil over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Let the emudro cool completely and then strain it into a drink container using the small sieve strainer. Add the lime juice and the stevia to the emudro and mix well.
  • Place the container in the fridge until the emudro becomes cold, then it's ready to serve.
