Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

1 litre/32fl oz water
360ml/12fl oz honey
200g/7oz sugar
115g/4oz finely chopped
fresh ginger
720ml/24fl oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
Bring half the water plus the honey, sugar and ginger to a boil in a pan. Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes until the sugar and honey are dissolved. Remove from the heat. Leave to stand for 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and combine with the lemon juice in a large pitcher. Let cool completely. Add the remaining water. The lemonade should be tart-sweet at this point. Chill. Transport to a Thermos and serve in a pitcher over lots of ice at the picnic, taking into consideration that some of the ice will melt and dilute the lemonade.
