Stir in 0.5 cups of honey into the steeped ginger water until it dissolves. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher. Combine the ginger syrup with 2.5 cups of cold water.
Pour in the freshly squeezed juice of 3-4 lemons into the pitcher. Stir well and adjust sweetness or lemoniness to your taste.
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice, garnished with lemon slices or fresh mint leaves if desired.
