Method
Making the Syrup Base
- 1
Prepare the Ginger
Peel and slice the fresh ginger into thin pieces. This will help to release more flavor while boiling.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, granulated sugar, and water.
- 3
Simmer the Mixture
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- 4
Steep the Ginger
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows the ginger flavor to infuse into the syrup.
- 5
Strain the Syrup
After 30 minutes, remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl to remove the ginger pieces.

Add Lemon Juice and Vanilla
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract into the strained syrup mixture. Allow it to cool completely.
