Ginger Ale Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Make Ginger Syrup

   In a saucepan, combine the fresh ginger root, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Strain the Syrup

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the ginger pieces.

3. 3

   Mix the Drink

   In a large pitcher, combine the ginger syrup with lemon juice. Add the club soda and stir gently to combine.

4. 4

   Serve

   Fill glasses with ice, pour the ginger ale over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
