Make the Ginger Syrup
Peel and slice the fresh ginger root into thin pieces. In a medium saucepan, combine the ginger slices, granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

Strain the Syrup
After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it cool for a few minutes, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl, discarding the ginger pieces. Stir in the lemon juice.
