• Serves: 2 quarts
• Ingredients
• 1 cup peeled and chopped fresh ginger, about 5 ounces
• 2 cups water
• ¼ cup honey, maple syrup or granulated sugar
• ¼ cup fresh lemon or lime juice
• 4 cups (1 quart) club soda or seltzer water
• Instructions
• To make the Ginger Syrup:
• Add ginger and water to a small saucepan over medium heat and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep an additional 15 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh sieve to remove the ginger from the syrup into a large bowl and then pour back into the small saucepan. Discard the pieces of ginger or save for another purpose.
• Add the sweetener to the saucepan and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Allow to cool completely. At this stage, the ginger syrup may be placed into a Mason jar, sealed, and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• To Make the Homemade Ginger Ale:
• Pour ginger syrup into a 2-quart glass pitcher, stir in fresh lemon or lime juice and club soda or seltzer water. Serve over ice.
• Enjoy!
