Candied Ginger Simple Syrup Recipe
Here is how I make my quick, versatile candied ginger simple syrup to add to cocktails, fruit salads, and my Boozy Fruit Sangrias:
Candied Ginger Simple Syrup
Ingredients
- 1 cup of Zuka or natural cane sugar
- 1 cup filtered or spring water
- 1/4 cup chopped candied ginger or fresh, organic peeled, and chopped ginger
Directions
1. Add the sugar and water to a small pot on medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Add the ginger and simmer for 2–3 minutes, uncovered, then cut off the heat.
3. Cover and allow the mixture to steep, for a minimum of 30 minutes to a couple of hours — the longer it steeps the stronger the flavor.
4. Strain out ginger and put the syrup in a sterilized jar or bottle. This will keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Note: You can keep the ginger in the freezer for smoothies or add some flavor and sweetness to the tea.
Other Uses —
I use simple syrup in my tea and I heard someone use it to jazz up maple syrup or drizzle on pancakes.
