The resulting syrup has a sweet, spicy flavor that can be used to add a kick to cocktails, mocktails, and smoothies. It can also be used as a glaze for grilled meats or vegetables, or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and ice cream. If you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your cooking, ginger syrup is a great option.

Steps:
- Peel and slice ginger into 2 inch lenghts and 1/8th inch thick. Using a Mandoline Slicer will give you uniform slices with ease and quickness.
- Toss sugar and ginger together.
- In a large heavy bottom pan heat water add sugared ginger and bring to a very slow simmer.
- Stir over low heat occasionally for 1 and 1/2 hours.
- The ginger will become translucent and the sugar will crystallize on the edge of the pan.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on parchment paper or a silicone mat. Lay drained ginger on sugar. Toss the sugar when ginger has cooled enough to handle (about 10 minutes) to coat evenly.
- Place in a air tight container out of heat and light.
- The yummy sugar that is left over can be saved in a jar and used for tea, sugar the rim of glasses drinks or in baking cookies or cakes.
- And for the left over syrup add 1 cup water heat to mix and use as you would corn syrup.

CLEMENTINES IN GINGER SYRUP, ALGERIAN
Like cinnamon in this country, cardamom plays a starring role in Algerian sweets. Paired with star anise in a gingery syrup, it gives clementine, or any small oranges, slices an irresistible aroma, but the syrup would be just as wonderful over any kind of sliced fruit.

GINGER-LIME-INFUSED SIMPLE SYRUP

Categories Non-Alcoholic Citrus Ginger Cocktail Party Lime Drink
Yield Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups
Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- Combine the sugar, water, ginger, and lime zest in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Turn off the heat and allow the ginger and lime to steep in the syrup for 3 hours. Strain the syrup into an airtight glass jar. Store for up to 1 month in the refrigerator
Tips:
- Choose the right ginger: Use fresh, young ginger for the best flavor. Avoid using old or fibrous ginger, as it will make the syrup bitter.
- Peel the ginger properly: Use a sharp knife or peeler to remove the skin of the ginger. Be careful not to remove too much of the ginger flesh, as this will reduce the flavor of the syrup.
- Slice the ginger thinly: This will help the ginger to release its flavor more easily.
- Use a good quality honey: The honey you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the syrup. Choose a honey that has a strong, floral flavor.
- Simmer the ginger and honey gently: Do not boil the syrup, as this will cause the honey to lose its flavor and nutrients.
- Let the syrup cool completely before using: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Store the syrup in a clean, airtight container: The syrup will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
Ginger syrup is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. It can be used to sweeten drinks, add flavor to marinades and glazes, or as a topping for desserts. Ginger syrup is also a great way to soothe a sore throat or upset stomach. With its many uses and health benefits, ginger syrup is a great addition to any home kitchen.
