Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Fresh ginger
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters Water
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger and slice it into thin rounds or small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, granulated sugar, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Lower the heat and let the syrup simmer gently for 10-12 minutes to allow the ginger flavor to infuse into the syrup.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 15-20 minutes to intensify the flavor further.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle to remove the ginger pieces.
Allow the ginger syrup to cool completely before using. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Use as a drizzle over fresh fruits or mix into cocktails, teas, or sparkling water for a refreshing ginger twist.
