Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (grated) Fresh ginger
Instructions
1. Peel a fresh piece of ginger using a spoon or peeler, and finely grate it using a microplane or fine grater.
2. Place the granulated sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
3. Add the grated ginger to the sugar.
4. Using clean hands or a fork, work the grated ginger into the sugar until it is evenly distributed and the sugar takes on a light ginger aroma.
5. Spread the ginger sugar mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a thin, even layer.
6. Allow the ginger sugar to air dry at room temperature for 24 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
7. Once the mixture is completely dry, transfer it to an airtight container or jar for storage.
8. Store the ginger sugar in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
