A good ginger ale would be better.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868168486958426195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-53253022102643606612015-11-18T12:20:43.861-05:002015-11-18T12:20:43.861-05:00Random follow-up, as I love this stuff but still a...Random follow-up, as I love this stuff but still a tad bit sweet to drink as much as I really want to! Came up with a great (and more natural) TJ-based recipe to make killer ginger ale/soda. 2 cups water (any brand!), 1 cup sugar (I use TJ Turbinado Raw Cane Sugar), 1 package TJ fresh ginger root, half a TJ lemon. Add water and sugar to a medium sauce pan, warm over low heat for several minutes while you peel the ginger and cut it into half-inch-or-so chunks. Add the ginger chunks to the warmed sugar/water and squeeze juice from half a lemon in. (Use full lemon if you like it more lemony!) Puree the ginger mixture with a hand blender (optionally, grate the ginger instead of chunks). Bring to the start of a boil, then simmer covered over lowest heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool. Optionally filter it in a colander. Add this syrup to carbonated water (Sodastream?) to taste and it is amazingly good!! Not as sweet as the TJ Ginger Beer but a great ginger bite. For the brave, add a dusting of TJ's ghost chile to the syrup efore simmering.stevenphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522753337306943820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-1100568630124464302015-05-29T00:44:10.601-04:002015-05-29T00:44:10.601-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646377195768669895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-64325467851366511102015-05-22T13:56:09.729-04:002015-05-22T13:56:09.729-04:00This definitely piques my interest.
