Recipe Introduction
Ginger is great for nausea.
List of Ingredients
2 cups (about 10 ounces) coarsely chopped, peeled fresh
ginger
3 strips lemon peel (about 4 inches each), yellow part
only
1-1/2 cups (about) sugar
3 quarts chilled club soda
Ice cubes
Recipe
Combine ginger, lemon peel, and 4 cups water in a 3- to
4-quart pan. Bring to a boil over high heat; boil gently,
uncovered, 10 minutes. Stir in 1-1/2 cups sugar and con-
tinue boiling until mixture is reduced to 3 cups, about
15 minutes longer. Pour mixture through a fine wire
strainer set over a bowl. Discard peel; reserve ginger
for another use or discard. Cool syrup, cover, and chill
until cold, at least 1 hour or up to 1 week.
For each serving, in a 16-ounce glass, mix 1/4 cup ginger
syrup with 1 cup cold club soda. Add more ginger syrup,
ice, and sugar to taste.
Notes: Refrigerate leftover cooked ginger, if desired, and
stir into softened vanilla ice cream, or sprinkle over
vanilla yogurt or sliced bananas.
Makes: About 4 quarts, 12 servings
