Homemade Ginger Ale makes about ¾ cup syrup (makes 3 cups Ginger Ale immediately) AND enough to fill a 12-piece ice cube tray
Ingredients
- 2 cups ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 quart sparkling water
Instructions
- Place the ginger root, water, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Simmer until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is reduced by half, about 40 minutes.
- Carefully strain the hot liquid into a heatproof bowl or vessel (I use my 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup), removing the pieces of ginger root, and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
- Pour the liquid into an ice cube tray and freeze.
- To serve, dissolve 1 ice cube (or use ¼ cup of the liquid), into 1 cup of sparkling water. Serve!
