Homemade Ginger Ale

 Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

I had some Pomegranate Ginger Ale at a work dinner event and was very impressed. Wanted to try out a simpler version and checked out some recipes on the internet. Tried the following and it worked great.

Measures below make about 4cups ginger ale

Ingredients:

Ginger - peeled and grated - 1/2 cup

Water - 2 cups

Sugar - 1/2 cup (adjust to taste), can substitute with monk fruit sweetener

Lime - about 1 (adjust to taste)

Water / Soda - 3 cups

Add the grated ginger and 1 cup water to a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Let it boil until the water reduces to half. In another pan, add the sugar and the remaining cup of water, bring to a boil and let it thicken. 

Add the sugar syrup to the ginger / water liquid. Steep for atleast 30 minutes. I left it sitting on the counter for 4-5 hours.

Filter and keep - The ginger ale concentrate is ready. 

When ready to serve, add lime, the ginger ale concentrate and water or soda together. Serve chilled.
