Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup filtered water
  • 1 cup fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup clover honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ginger: Peel the fresh ginger root carefully and slice it into thin pieces to release maximum flavor during simmering.
  2. Simmer the Ginger: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, bring the sliced ginger and filtered water to a gentle simmer. Keep the pan uncovered and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes so the ginger infuses deeply into the water.
  3. Strain the Mixture: After simmering, strain the ginger water through a fine sieve to remove all pieces of ginger. You can reserve the ginger for another use or discard it.
  4. Cool the Ginger Water: Allow the strained ginger water to cool for about 5 minutes before proceeding to the next step to prevent honey degradation.
  5. Add Honey Gradually: Add the clover honey to the warm ginger water in 1/4 cup increments, stirring each time until the honey dissolves completely. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences.

Notes

  • Start by adding honey in 1/4 cup increments to reach your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Use filtered water to ensure a clean, pure taste in your syrup.
  • The leftover ginger can be used to infuse teas or for other culinary purposes.
  • Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
