Ginger Syrup Recipe
- 2 ounces fresh unpeeled ginger (about the size of the first part of your thumb)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 pieces lemon zest
- Wash the ginger well in hot water. Using a Microplane zester, grate the ginger, carefully reserving the juice and pulp.
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, bring the water and sugar to a gentle boil. Add the ginger and lemon zest, and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan and steep for about 45 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer and let cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 14 days.
