Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- ½ cup (120 ml) fresh or frozen ginger in ½ in (1.25 cm) dice
- ½ cup (120 ml) water
- ½ cup (120 ml) white sugar
- 1½ tsp (7.5 ml) lime juice
- Carbonated water as needed
Directions
- Combine the 1 cup (240 mL) water with the ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and strain the liquid.
- Combine the ½ cup (120 ml) water with the sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and simmer until reduced to about 5 oz (150 ml). Remove from the heat.
- Combine the ginger liquid, the syrup, and the lime juice.
- To make the finished soda, combine 1 volume of ginger syrup with 1 volume of carbonated water.
Notes
Use water from a carbonating machine or a brand of pure carbonated water such as Polar Original Sparkling Water, Great Value Seltzer Water, or Signature Select Seltzer Water. Do not use a brand of mineral water such as Perrier, San Pellegrino, or Mineragua because the added minerals will ruin the taste. Avoid flavored sparkling water such as La Croix or Spindrift because the preexisting fruit flavors will ruin the drink.
