Method

Preparation of Ginger Syrup

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ginger

    Peel and finely chop the fresh ginger into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Boil Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped ginger, sugar, and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Mixture

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

  4. 4

    Strain the Syrup

    After simmering, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container to remove the ginger pieces. Let it cool.

Mixing the Ginger Ale

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a pitcher, mix the cooled ginger syrup with 4 cups of carbonated water and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

  2. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the ginger ale and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more syrup or lemon juice as desired.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Pour the ginger ale into glasses over ice, and garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves if desired.
