Yield Makes about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 piece (about 10 inches long and 4 ounces; or use several small pieces) fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin rounds

Tips for Making Ginger-Lime Infused Simple Syrup:

  • Use fresh ginger and limes: Fresh ingredients will give your syrup the best flavor.
  • Peel the ginger before slicing: The peel can be bitter, so it's best to remove it before using the ginger.
  • Use a microplane to zest the limes: This will give you the most flavorful zest.
  • Bring the syrup to a simmer, not a boil: Boiling will cause the syrup to lose its delicate flavor.
  • Let the syrup cool completely before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Store the syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks: The syrup will keep its flavor for longer if you store it in a cool, dark place.

Conclusion:

Ginger-lime infused simple syrup is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of drinks and desserts. It's easy to make and adds a delicious, refreshing flavor to any recipe. So next time you're looking for a way to add a little something extra to your favorite drink or dessert, try making a batch of ginger-lime infused simple syrup. You won't be disappointed!
