You could have it hot, cold, as an ice-cream topping, with fizzy water&#8230;however you fancy and it was lovely. We tried to find some to bring home but after seeing it everywhere couldn&#8217;t seem to find any on our last day shopping back in Auckland so I decided to make some of our own. I did a bit of researching on-line and ended up with the following recipe.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup runny honey (I used the cheapest runny honey I could buy rather than our own which is in limited supply this year)<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of lemon juice (try to avoid the pips)<\/li>\n<li>2 table spoons water<\/li>\n<li>2 table spoons grated root ginger<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gently warm the honey with the water. Once combined add in the lemon juice and grated ginger. Store in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve only tried this as a hot drink so far and it is perfect on a cold day or if you have a cold\/sore throat. Alan like the bits of lemon and ginger floating in his drinks but I prefer it without so I either let these settle to the bottom of my cup or sieve them out before making it.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12161\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/lemons.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12161\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12161\" alt=\"Lemons\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/lemons-480x320.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/lemons-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/lemons-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/lemons.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12161\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lemons<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While we were in New Zealand we came across a lemon, honey and ginger cordial drink.
