Method
Preparation of Ginger Syrup
Prepare the Ginger
Peel the fresh ginger root and slice it into thin pieces.
Make the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, granulated sugar, and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes to extract the ginger flavor.
Strain 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 completely.
Add Lemon Juice
Once the syrup is cool, stir in the lemon juice for added flavor.
Mixing the Ginger Ale
Combine Ingredients
In a pitcher, combine 1 cup of the ginger syrup with 4 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to mix.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if needed.
Serve
Pour the ginger ale into glasses filled with ice. Optionally, garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
