Notes

  • How to Store & Re-Heat
  • How to Store & Re-Heat
  • To store: Honey ginger syrup, transfer it to a clean, airtight jar or bottle, and refrigerate it. The syrup can last up to a month in the refrigerator, but the flavor may degrade after a week or two.
  • To reheat: Remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Alternatively, you can heat the syrup gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through. Be careful not to overheat the syrup, which can cause the sugars to caramelize and change the flavor.

  • You can make the honey ginger syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. The syrup will keep well for up to a month in a tightly sealed jar or bottle. You can also prepare the ginger slices ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you're ready to make the syrup, this can save time, as you can measure the ginger slices and start cooking.
