You can prepare the ginger water concentrate in advance and store it for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or several months in the freezer. When doing the latter, I like to portion it out into a large silicone ice cube tray, so I can defrost just enough for a glass of ginger ale or cup of tea each time.

Instructions
For the Concentrate
Step 1
Peel and chop the ginger into small disks/chunks. For a more concentrated flavor, mince or grate the ginger.
Step 2
Transfer the ginger and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat, allow it to cool to room temperature, and strain it through a fine mesh strainer to remove the ginger solids.
Step 4
At this point, you'll have about 1 cups of concentrated ginger water. You can use it all now OR freeze some for later usage.
For the Drink
Step 5
Juice the lemon(s)
Step 6
Combine the rest of the ingredients into a large pitcher or individual glasses, and stir. For ginger ale use club soda, for tea use hot water.
Step 7
Give it a taste and adjust any elements (sweetener, lemon, ginger water, water) to your liking.
