Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups ginger slices, peeled (1/8 inch thick)
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 quart soda water
1 lime cut in wedges
4 mint sprigs

Steps:

  • Mix ginger, sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a slow simmer. Reduce mixture by 50 percent until a syrupy consistency is reached. Keep in mind that the syrup will thicken as it cools. Strain warm syrup. Allow to cool.
  • While syrup is cooling, make ginger candy. Take ginger slices that have been drained out of the syrup and completely coat in sugar. Spread on sheet pan and slowly dry out in a 225-degree oven for 3 hours. Ginger slices should be dried but still chewy.
  • In a tall glass of ice, add mint sprig and a ratio of 1 part ginger syrup to 7 parts soda water. Squeeze lime wedge and add to drink. Use more syrup if desired. Stir and enjoy. Can also make drink with chilled soda water and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a tasty Ginger Ale Float.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The ginger ale was bland and the candy was hard as a rock.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ginger ale turned out flat. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The ginger candy is a great addition to the ginger ale. It adds a little sweetness and crunch.

This ginger ale is a great alternative to store-bought soda. It's healthier and just as delicious.

This ginger ale is a great way to use up extra ginger. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.
