A favorite component of quite a few different drinks, well-made ginger syrup is both spicy (somtimes very much so depending on your specific ginger) and sweet and a great complement to so many other ingredients.
Ingredients
250 g White Sugar 250 g Demerara Sugar 250 g Ginger Root 250 g Water 1 oz Everclear or Similar High-Proof Vodka
Method
Measure by weight, not volume for this recipe.
Put ginger and sugar in blender or food processor and very carefully add boiling water.
Blend thoroughly, then strain theough a fine mesh sieve or even a nut-bag.
Bottle and store in the fridge for up to a week or so.
Adding 1oz of high-proof vodka (eg Everclear) helps with longevity.
