I usually make ginger lemonade.
Grate a kilo of ginger and boil it in a litre of water for twenty minutes. Then add honey to taste, about a pound or a pound and a half. Leave to cool and add a litre of lemon juice. Pour the mixture into preserving bottles through a sieve and boil for thirty minutes at ninety degrees.
Either mix six to one with sparkling water as lemonade or drink hot and pure for colds.

Oh, sorry, I forgot you're British, I'll try to convert that into imperial units.
That would be 3/128 cental ginger, 7 1/32 noggin water or lemon juice and 579 scruple honey, if you have a sweet tooth like me. When I make this, it usually ends up being a sethera, because one bottle isn't quite enough. Of course, it depends on the bottles and how big your preserving pot is.

Kilogramme = 2lb 3¼oz
Litre = 17·6 fl oz

If you'd rather use the Furlong Firkin Fortnight system, the conversion factors can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFF_system

Oh, thank you so much. I just picked measurements as ridiculous and random as possible.
Maybe it's good that I didn't give prices using Farthings and Guineas.
At the office I recommended using Atto Parsecs instead of boring metre based systems. I mean using earth's rotation around the sun to measure small parts or anything else? That's so COOL!

For whatever reason they refused. Humourless stupid managers.
