Ginger Syrup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Ginger: 500g (1.1 lbs)
  • Sugar: 500g (1.1 lbs)
  • Honey: 250g (0.55 lbs)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ginger
Start by thoroughly washing the ginger, peeling it, and slicing it thinly. The thin slices will allow the flavors and beneficial compounds to infuse more effectively.

2. Combine with Sugar and Honey
Mix the ginger with sugar and honey, ensuring they evenly coat the slices for optimal infusion.

3. Transfer to a Jar
Place the ginger mixture into a sterilized glass jar, seal it tightly, and let it ferment at room temperature for a week. During fermentation, the ingredients blend naturally, enhancing flavor.

4. Store in Refrigerator
After a week, transfer the jar to the refrigerator. The syrup will be kept for about three months.

How to Enjoy Ginger Syrup

  • Ginger Tea: Add one or two spoonfuls to warm water for a soothing tea.
  • Refreshing Drink: Mix with sparkling water for a ginger-infused refreshment.
  • Cooking Aid: Use it as a sauce or seasoning to enhance your recipes.

Health Benefits

Rich in gingerol and shogaol, ginger helps combat inflammation and supports immunity. However, ginger’s warming effects may not suit everyone, so limit your intake to two or three spoonfuls a day to avoid stomach discomfort.

With the cold season just around the corner, ginger syrup offers a simple and delicious way to stay healthy and warm. Give it a try and enjoy its natural goodness!
