Homemade Ginger Ale with Ginger Candy




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




2 cup ginger slices, peeled and sliced thin
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
soda water
mint sprigs or lime to garnish



Recipe



Mix the ginger, sugar, and water in a saucepan and simmer low. Reduce the mixture until it reaches a syrupy consistency. It will thicken some more after it cools, so don't reduce too much. You can also gauge it by taste.

Once you get the desired consistency, strain out the slices and save the syrup. Put the slices on a cookie sheet and coat them completely with sugar. Put them in a 225 degree oven to dry them out. They probably don't need too much drying, so under 1 hour.

To make ginger ale, mix the syrup in the glasses: 1 part syrup, 7 parts soda water. Stir, add ice, and garnish with mint and/or lime. Ginger is an ideal digestiv, being beneficial to settling the stomach. If you're ever on a boat and prone to a little queasiness, bring some of the candied ginger.

Delicious and refreshing!
