赤紫蘇も新生姜も季節ものなので、店先に出回ったら買って作らないと、すぐに時期を逃してしまいます 
新生姜のジンジャーエールも作り方は至って簡単 
もちろん通常の生姜でも良いのですが、薄いピンク色になるのは、新生姜だけ 
新生姜の香りと軽い辛味が疲れた身体を癒してくれますよ
以上、いつも私は作るのを見ているだけです

Besides "red perilla juice", my wife makes another homeade drink every summer: "ginger ale" with young ginger.
Both red perillas and young gingers are seasonal vegetables, when you find them on sale, you need to buy them right away or you'll miss them.
Recipes for ginger ale are essy.
Of course you can make it with "usual" ginger, however, only young ginger can make the light pink color whe you add lemon.
The flavour and taste of young ginger make you relax.
Well, well, well, that's what I've heard from my wife.
I don't make any of the drinks.
