Gingerale Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare Ginger Syrup

   Peel and slice fresh ginger root. In a saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.

2. 2

   Strain the Syrup

   Once the ginger syrup has cooled, strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container, discarding the ginger pieces.

3. 3

   Mix the Gingerale

   In a glass, combine 1/4 cup of the ginger syrup with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Add ice cubes as desired. Top with soda water and stir gently to combine.

4. 4

   Serve

   Garnish with a lemon slice or mint leaves if desired, and enjoy your refreshing ginger ale!
