Most West Africans don't drink with their meals, preferring a glass of water before or after. This cooling beverage might be served on warm days when friends come for a visit.
== Ingredients ==
* 6 cups water, divided
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup grated peeled fresh ginger
* 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (about 8 lemons)

# Combine 1 cup water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves, stirring with a whisk.
# Place ginger on a double layer of cheesecloth.
# Gather edges of cheesecloth together; tie securely.
# Place cheesecloth bag in a large pitcher, and add lemon juice.
# Add sugar mixture and 5 cups water to pitcher, and stir well.
# Refrigerate lemonade 2 hours or until chilled.
# Discard cheesecloth bag.
