1
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
2
Add the sliced fresh ginger to the simmering liquid and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes to extract the flavor.
3
If using, stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
4
Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container to remove the ginger slices.
5
Cool the syrup to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

6
For each serving, measure 2 tablespoons of the chilled ginger syrup and pour into a tall glass.
7
Add 1 cup (8 oz) of cold sparkling water to the glass and stir gently to combine.
8
Taste and adjust by adding more syrup for a stronger ginger flavor or more sparkling water for a lighter beverage.
