Easy Ginger Syrup
Perfect for adding zippy sweetness and spice to cocktails, this Easy Ginger Syrup only takes 4 ingredients, including water. It's also great for making ginger ale, ginger lemonade or as an addition to many teas.
Servings: 1.5 cups
Ingredients
- 4 ounces (113 grams) fresh ginger, about a cup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated or raw sugar
- pinch salt Optional
Instructions
- Cut peeled or unpeeled ginger into thin slices. Place the ginger, water, sugar, and salt (if using) in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir until the sugar melts, about 1 minute. Then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover pot. Simmer for 20 minutes then remove from the heat and allow to cool and steep in the covered pot until cool, about an hour.
- Once cool, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean sealable jar or bottle. Store the strained syrup in the refrigerator, covered, until ready to use.
- Ginger syrup will last about 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator and can also be frozen into ice cubes.
