Time 35m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups unbleached cane sugar (preferably organic)
3/4 cup water
1/2 lb fresh gingerroot, washed and sliced into quarter-inch thick rounds
1 large lemon, washed, half sliced into quarter-inch thick rounds and the other half sliced into wheels for serving
ice
3/4 cup seltzer water or 3/4 cup sparkling water

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil and use a wooden spoon to stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and set the simple syrup aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a blender jar, combine the ginger and sliced lemon; add the warm simple syrup and place a lid on the blender. Begin blending on the lowest speed until the ginger and lemon are roughly chopped, about 1 minute. Turn off the blender and let the ginger-lemon syrup steep for 10 minutes. Repeat, this time blending the ginger-lemon syrup on medium speed for 1 minute before turning the blender off and steeping for 10 minutes more.
  • Strain the ginger-lemon syrup through a fine-meshed sieve lined with 2 layers of water-moistened cheesecloth, set over a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula to help push the mixture through.
  • Fill a glass with ice, add 3/4 cup seltzer water. Top with ¼ cup ginger-lemon syrup and use the spoon to stir. Adjust the flavor with more ginger-lemon syrup or seltzer as needed. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
  • The remaining ginger-lemon syrup can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup chopped peeled ginger, plus slice of ginger for garnish
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
Ice
Seltzer

Steps:

  • Blend ginger with 1/2 cup water until smooth. Strain, pressing on solids to yield 1/2 cup juice. Stir together ginger juice, lemon juice, and honey. Ginger base can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week. (It makes enough for 10 drinks.)
  • Fill a glass with ice and add 2 tablespoons ginger base. Top with seltzer and garnish with a slice of ginger.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than dried ginger, so it's best to use it whenever possible.
  • Peel the ginger before using: The skin of the ginger can be tough and fibrous, so it's best to peel it before using it. You can use a vegetable peeler or a paring knife to do this.
  • Grate the ginger: Grating the ginger will help to release its flavor and make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
  • Use lemon zest and juice: Lemon zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to the syrup. Be sure to use fresh lemons, as bottled lemon juice can be bitter.
  • Simmer the syrup: Simmering the syrup helps to dissolve the sugar and infuse it with the flavor of the ginger and lemon. Be sure to keep an eye on the syrup and stir it occasionally to prevent it from burning.
  • Store the syrup in a jar or bottle: Once the syrup has cooled, it can be stored in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Lemon-ginger syrup is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of drinks and dishes. It's a great way to add a refreshing, citrusy flavor to your favorite beverages, and it can also be used to make delicious marinades, glazes, and desserts. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own lemon-ginger syrup at home.
