Hints

  1. This traditional way of making ginger syrup will yield a slightly sweeter, and less spicy version of our main ginger syrup.

  2. If you want to add a bit more spice, grate some of the ginger prior to adding it to the pan.

  3. One benefit of this syrup over the other version is that you'll be left with candied ginger. After straining the syrup, simply dehydrate the remaining ginger pieces. If you don't have a dehydrator, add them to your oven over low heat for a few hours.
