1
Prepare the Ginger Syrup
Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger root. (Approximately 2 cups of sliced ginger).
2
Cook the Ginger
In a saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, granulated sugar, and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.
3
Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes. This will help to extract the ginger flavor.
4
Strain the Syrup
After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat. Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the syrup into a bowl, discarding the ginger pieces. Allow the syrup to cool.
5
Add Lemon Juice
Once the ginger syrup is cool, stir in the 1 cup of lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
6
Mix with Carbonated Water
In a pitcher, combine the ginger-lemon syrup with 4 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to avoid losing the fizz.
7
Serve the Ginger Ale
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the ginger ale over the ice. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
