Ginger Syrup

Take 14-16oz fresh ginger root

Using a spoon, scrape off the peel of most of the ginger. Remove 90-95%  of the peel so the flesh is exposed while cooking. Cut in to slices and set aside.

‍

In a pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add  2.5 quarts of WHITE sugar.

Add the ginger and stir thoroughly to dissolve the sugar. Bring back to  a boil and then reduce heat to simmer.

Cook for 1 hour then remove from heat and let cool for  15 minutes.

Strain off the pieces of ginger and let  completely cool. Batch in quart containers, label and date.
