    Spice up your beverages and desserts with Homemade Ginger Syrup! Recipe plus 9 ways to use this delicious, versatile syrup. | The Good Hearted Woman

    Spice up your beverages and desserts! This delicious ginger syrup is perfect for infusing beverages and sweet treats with intense, natural ginger flavor.

    Homemade Ginger Syrup |The Good Hearted Woman

    Mr. B and I love ginger. When we discovered how easy it is to make homemade ginger syrup, and this delicious condiment immediately became a new favorite among our kitchen staples.

    How to Make this Recipe

    Put 3 cups of water and all the sliced ginger in a blender and blend until ginger is chunky smooth.

    Pour the blended mixture into a large saucepan. Stir in the remaining 3 cups of water and the sugar, and bring to a boil over medium heat.

    Reduce to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool in the pan.

    Line a sieve with two to three layers of cheesecloth and strain syrup. Squeeze the cheesecloth bag tightly to get out all the gingery goodness.

    Pour syrup into containers and refrigerate or freeze.

    How to Use Homemade Ginger Syrup

    1. Ginger ale: add a tablespoon of Ginger syrup to a glass of club soda or seltzer water and make your own ginger ale.
    2. Ginger Lemonade
    3. Ginger Iced Tea
    4. Ginger Apple Juice
    5. Whiskey Ginger
    6. Ginger Ice Cream - just drizzle a couple of tablespoons into the ice cream mix before you freeze it.
    7. Raspberry-Ginger Butterscotch Sundae
    8. Ginger Peaches
    9. Ginger Yogurt - add a teaspoon or two to a cup of yogurt. Vanilla, peach, and raspberry all taste great this way!

    Ingredients

    • 6 cups water
    • 6 cups white sugar
    • 1 lb ground ginger sliced

    Instructions

    • Put 3 cups of water and all the sliced ginger in a blender and blend until ginger is chunky smooth.
    • Pour the blended mixture into a large saucepan. Stir in the remaining 3 cups of water and the sugar, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
    • Allow the syrup to cool in the pan.

    Notes

    Makes about 8 cups of very strong ginger syrup. You can easily scale down the amounts (3 cups/3 cups/1/2 lb) and make less syrup, but you will regret it. This stuff is delicious!

      Always good to come across new recipe ideas and blending the ginger before cooking it is certainly a first and something I will try.
      The sugar content is a little high for my tastes though as an alternative, a 2:1 ratio of water to honey is just as effective, gives it a naturally sweet flavour and improves the consistancy of the syrup.

      I've never been the biggest fan of ginger, however, I think this would be great to make for our homemade moscow mules!

        It's great for mules. You can balance the ginger to your tastes instead of relying on finding the right ginger beer.

      I wanted to make something like for my birthday last year. I ended up only making a pomegranate syrup. It was really yummy. I will have to try both this year.

      Renee, I love this! I, too, am a huge fan of ginger and use it in so many dishes and smoothies, but never thought to make my own ginger syrup. Adding this to my "gotta make" list!
