Homemade Ginger Syrup Recipe

Ingredients

• 50 g fresh ginger (roughly chopped)
• 240 ml water (divided in half)
• 100 g sugar

Steps

1. 1

   Blend the ginger: Roughly chop the fresh ginger and add it to a food processor with half of the water. Blend until the ginger is finely chopped.

2. 2

   Cook the ginger: Pour the ginger mixture into a saucepan. Add the remaining water and the sugar. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

3. 3

   Simmer: Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the ginger infuse into the syrup.

4. 4

   Strain: Place cheesecloth over a fine-mesh sieve and pour the ginger mixture through it into a clean bowl or measuring jug. Let it drain for a moment.

5. 5

   Squeeze: Gather the cheesecloth around the ginger pulp and squeeze firmly to extract as much syrup as possible.

6. 6

   Cool and store: Let the ginger syrup cool completely, then transfer it to a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate.
