I always have ginger left over, from making a recipe. I hate to waste ingredients. This Ginger Simple Syrup is practically a freebie. Toss leftover ginger in a pan, with sugar and water. The result is a sticky sweet syrup, that you’ll look for excuses to use:

Hot or Cold Beverages

Mixed Drinks

Oatmeal

French Toast

Pancake Syrup

You can take this syrup a step further, to make Gingerbread Syrup. Simply add Gingerbread Spice, and molasses. This can be used all sorts of ways. I’m curious to know, how would you use this Ginger Syrup?

If you like chocolate milk, you’re going to love Gingerbread Chocolate Milk! Or Gingerbread Hot Cocoa! 

GINGER SIMPLE SYRUP

INGREDIENTS:
3 Ounces fresh ginger, peeled, chopped
2 Cups water
1 Cup sugar

DIRECTIONS:
Bring ingredients, to a boil, in a medium sized sauce pan. Place a wooden spoon over sauce pan, to prevent a boil over. The liquid will bubble to the top of the sauce pan, as it boils. Reduce heat to medium low and continue a strong boil, until liquid has evaporated by 50%. The liquid will turn into a thick syrup. This process should take approximately 20 minutes. Strain ginger. Pour syrup into a mason jar. Keep refrigerated. The ginger pieces turn into candy.

USES:
Cold Beverages
Hot Beverages
Mixed Drinks
Oatmeal
Salad Dressings
Sauces
