Lemouroudji - A West African Lemonade

2 medium pieces of ginger
1 gallon water
1 lb. lemons
1 cup sugar
ground cayenne pepper

Juice the lemons.  Peel and grate the ginger. Place the grated ginger
and a liberal dash of the cayenne pepper into a piece of cheesecloth,
and tie it into a knot.  Let soak in the water. After 15 minutes or so,
add the sugar, and the lemon juice. Chill, and serve.
