1
Prepare the Ginger Syrup
Peel and slice the fresh ginger root into thin pieces. In a saucepan, combine the ginger slices, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.
2
Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes. This will allow the ginger to infuse its flavor into the syrup.
3
Cool and Strain
After 30 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let the ginger syrup cool to room temperature. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the ginger pieces.
4
Mix with Club Soda
In a large pitcher, combine the ginger syrup with lemon juice. Slowly add the club soda and stir gently to combine. Adjust sweetness to taste.
5
Serve
Fill glasses with ice and pour the ginger ale over the ice. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade ginger ale!
