7 cups (1.5-2l) hot water
4 ounces (113g) ginger, diced
2 cups (475ml) water
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1-2 cups (236-470ml) pineapple juice (homemade is better but store-bought works fine)
1 lime, juiced

In a large bowl, steep diced ginger in the hot water for an hour or more. Strain the ginger tea with cheesecloth or a fine sieve and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, boil 2 cups of water and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Allow to cool.
Combine ginger tea, pineapple juice, simple syrup, and juice from one lime. Stir and serve over ice.

I used fresh pineapple in this recipe, but store-bought pineapple juice works just fine when pressed for time.
If you live in an area where pineapples are sweeter, reduce the sugar or completely eliminate it.
Adding a little rum tastes amazing.
