Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Ginger Syrup

    Grate the fresh ginger root and combine it with sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Strain the Syrup

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the ginger syrup cool. Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or jar to remove the ginger pieces.

  3. 3

    Mix Ginger Ale

    In a large pitcher, combine the ginger syrup with lemon juice and carbonated water. Stir gently to mix.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the ginger ale over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
