Ginger Syrup
Spring 2017
This spicy syrup is great to have on hand for homemade soft drinks. Mix it with soda and a squeeze of lemon for zippy ginger ale, or use it to sweeten iced herbal tea or limeade.
Makes 1¼ cups (310 mL)
2 oz (60 g) fresh ginger
⅔ cup (150 mL) water
⅔ cup (150 mL) granulated sugar
1. Peel ginger and finely grate on a rasp set over a small bowl to capture juice. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and add ginger and its juice. Cover and let stand 45 minutes.
3. Fine strain into bowl, pressing on solids to extract syrup. Cool to room temperature. Transfer to glass jar with lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month.
