Ginger Syrup (for drinks)

🧂 Ingredients

• 4.5 oz fresh ginger
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water

Instructions

• 1 Scrape the skin from the ginger roots with a small paring knife or a spoon. Give
  the ginger a quick rinse under water.
• 2 Slice ginger into thin slices (about 1/3-inch thick) and smash or crush them.
• 3 Add ginger, sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to
  dissolve the sugar. Once the mixture starts to boil, skim off foam and lower
  heat to a simmer.
• 4 Cover the saucepan with the lid slightly askew and simmer gently for 30-35
  minutes to thicken the mixture into syrup.
• 5 Strain the syrup. Store the liquid in a clean jar or bottle with several slices
  of the ginger you just strained. Let it cool and then store in the refrigerator
  with the jar/bottle lid on.
