Homemade ginger syrup tastes so much better! If you want to make it spicier, add more ginger and leave the mixture of ginger and sugar for a longer time like two hours. You can also add some black pepper, chili and some spices such as a stick of cinnamon or a couple of star anise.
Ingredients
150g of ginger
200g of brown sugar
1 cup of water
1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons of honey
Instruction
1. Slice ginger in 2mm.
2. Mix slices of ginger and brown sugar and leave it for 1 hour. The water from ginger is coming out and melting the brown sugar. It will become ginger in brown liquid. More you leave, spicier it becomes.
3. Add 1 cup of water into 2, and cook at low to medium heat for 20 mins.
4. Turn off the heat, and add the juice of a half lemon and honey.
5. Using a strainer, get rid of ginger and keep the syrup in a clean bottle. You can keep this for 2 weeks.
