Prepare Fresh Ginger

Make the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the chopped ginger, granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has fully dissolved.

Simmer
Reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes. This allows the ginger flavor to infuse into the syrup.
