Ingredients

  • 200 g ginger root
  • 250 g granulated sugar
  • 1 lime
  • 1 l water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash the ginger root thoroughly under cold running water, then slice it thinly. For a more intense flavor and color do not peel it.
  2. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low to medium heat for an hour.
  3. Strain the syrup (about half a liter or about 2 cups) through gauze and store it in a tightly sealed bottle. It will keep in the fridge for up to two months.
  4. For flavoring classic lemonade, mix one spoonful of syrup for every 200 ml (~1 cup) of lemonade and add some fresh mint leaves. Ginger gives the lemonade a very special flavor!
