Homemade ginger syrup, ginger ale and Ginger Candy

Homemade ginger syrup, ginger ale and Ginger Candy -

People always ask me where I come up with the recipes I post on the blog. I wish I had developed a system that I programmed my choice days in advance. Unfortunately, my method is much more random. For example, the other day, I had a cup of lemon tea with a little ginger syrup in it, and I became instantly fixated on creating at home. "How can it be hard?" I thought I breathed this cup of tea.

Turns out I was right! Make ginger syrup is not only extremely easy but the possibilities of use are endless. Have you ever had a ginger ale house with strong ginger flavor and tart lime wedge? Or did you know that when you make ginger syrup you actually do candied ginger in the process? And do not get me started on the number of different cocktails you could do with it. I think this syrup with a little bourbon and a splash of soda would be amazing right?

Today freezes in New York, and I can not wait to have another cup of lemon tea with a little mixed this deliciousness. have a great weekend!
