Ingredients:
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 tablespoon honey (or more to taste)
- 8-10 ounces sparkling water
- Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
Equipment:
- Citrus juicer
- Small bowl or glass
- Measuring spoons
- Tall glass or mug
Instructions:
Step 1: Juice the Lemon
- I will generate an image showing a hand squeezing a halved lemon over a clear glass citrus juicer, catching the juice in a small bowl below. The lemon halves will be bright yellow, and the juicer will be placed on a light-colored countertop.
Step 2: Grate the Ginger
- I will generate an image showing a hand grating a piece of peeled ginger over a small white bowl using a fine grater. The ginger will be light brown and fibrous.
Step 3: Combine Lemon Juice, Ginger, and Honey
- I will generate an image showing the small bowl containing the lemon juice, grated ginger, and a spoon with honey dripping into the mixture. The ingredients will be well-lit and visible in the bowl.
Step 4: Stir to Dissolve Honey
- I will generate an image showing a spoon stirring the lemon juice, grated ginger, and honey mixture in the small bowl until the honey is dissolved. The mixture will appear slightly cloudy.
Step 5: Add to Glass and Top with Sparkling Water
- I will generate an image showing the honey-ginger-lemon mixture being poured into a tall glass filled with ice. A bottle of sparkling water will be shown pouring into the glass, creating fizz.
Step 6: Stir Gently and Garnish
- I will generate an image showing a spoon gently stirring the Honey Ginger Lemon Fizz in the tall glass. A slice of lemon will be placed on the rim of the glass as a garnish. The drink will have a light yellow hue with visible bubbles.
