For those of you who are big fans of ginger ale this is a quick and fun recipe that you can use to make your own ginger ale! While it's quicker and less hassle to just go buy a bottle of ginger ale from the store, in my opinion the taste of homemade ginger ale is much bolder and has a bit more kick than anything you will get from the store. Ginger is a strong root and a little bit goes a long way.
Recipe:
2 Tbsp fine grated ginger
1 Cup Sugar (white or brown)
½ Cup Water
Small amount of fresh squeezed lemon or lime (optional, season to taste)
Add the ginger, sugar, and water to a saucepan and cook on medium heat till all sugar is dissolved. Remove it from the cooking surface and let it sit for at least one hour. Use a strainer to strain the ginger pieces out of the sauce and place the remaining syrup in a bowl. Add 3 to 4 Tablespoons to some unflavored carbonated water (about 8oz) and enjoy your fresh drink!
