Revitalising! I usually opt for lemons when juicing with ginger but after having tried your variation I can say it is definitely a tasty alternative that I will continue.

Hi Emily. Delighted you enjoyed the recipe. Yes indeed it works equally as well with lemons. Here in Thailand organic limes are in abundance. Both lemons and limes contain a great amount of vitamin C and anti-oxidants. Good health wishes 🙂
