斯里蘭卡薑啤

這款青檸薑汁是港大佛學教授 Karunadasa 太太 Malathi Karunadasa 親手泡製，它是斯里蘭卡的特色飲品，斯里蘭卡人稱之為「薑啤」，既能夠解渴，且能刺激食欲。據 Karunadasa 太太說，為避免飲用時有渣滓，刨薑不應刨得太細緻。

Ginger lemon drink

Ingredients:

Half a cup of grated fresh ginger

3 green limes

One liter of water

Half a cup of white sugar (adjustable)

Steps:

1. Cut the limes into half and squeeze to get the juice.
2. Boil the water and put in the sugar. Stir until well dissolved.
