Step 1
Wash the pears thoroughly, core them, and chop into small pieces.
Step 2
Peel the fresh ginger and grate it finely.

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped pears, grated ginger, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved completely.

Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the pear and ginger mixture into a large pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

Add the lemon juice and the remaining 3 cups of water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Step 8
Taste the lemonade and adjust sugar or water levels as needed for desired sweetness and consistency.
Step 9
