Ingredients

  • 1 cup ginger, peeled and grated ginger
  • 4 cups boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups lime juice
  • 1 -3 cup honey (to taste)

Instructions

  1. To make the ginger juice:
  2. Combine 1 cup peeled & grated ginger, with 4 cups boiling water. Strain. Alternatively you can boil the ginger until it reaches desired strength.
  3. You can also run fresh ginger through a juicer, if you have one, but the result is much more potent, so you won't need as much in the recipe.
  4. Ginger juice keeps for at least a week in the fridge.
  5. To make the Lomi Lomi:
  6. I have put it in cups to make it easy, but here is the method to make as much or as little as you want.
  7. Mix 1 part ginger juice(1 cup), 1.5 parts lime juice(1 1/2 cups) and 1-3 parts honey (1-3 cups or to taste).
  8. Mix with lots of crushed ice, or blend the Lomi Lomi and ice together, like a frozen margherita(yum!).
  9. You will have enough ginger juice to make 3 more batches of Lomi Lomi!
  10. NOTE: Be sure to thoroughly mix the honey into the juices first while still hot, before adding the ice, or the honey will harden like rock and wont blend into the drink.
