Prepare the Ginger and Honey Syrup
If you don't have ginger and honey syrup on hand, you can quickly make it by combining equal parts honey and water in a saucepan. Add freshly grated ginger (about 1 tablespoon) and heat gently until the honey dissolves. Let it steep for 30 minutes, then strain and cool.
