Method
Preparation of Ginger Syrup
- 1
Peeling and Chopping Ginger
Peel the fresh ginger root using a vegetable peeler or the edge of a spoon. Once peeled, chop the ginger into small pieces to maximize flavor extraction.
- 2
Making Ginger Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped ginger, granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- 3
Simmering
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors from the ginger to infuse into the syrup.
- 4
Straining the Syrup
After simmering, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the ginger pieces. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
