First, make your honey ginger simple syrup. Add 1 cup water, 1 cup honey, and 1/4 cup peeled and chopped fresh ginger to a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat.
Bring to a simmer and stir until the honey and water are fully combined. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, strain the simple syrup and discard the ginger pieces.
Let cool. (You can make the simple syrup ahead of time. Just cover and refrigerate until ready to use.)
When ready to make the lemonade, add 5 cups water and the 1 1/2 cups lemon juice to a large pitcher (paid link).
Stir in the honey ginger simple syrup.
To serve, fill a glass with ice and pour in the lemonade.
