A very refreshing drink courtesy of The Blue Ginger, Wellesley, Mass. Ingredients:
1 quart club soda, well chilled |
1 lime, cut into wedges |
candied ginger, for garnish |
4 cups sugar |
2 cups fresh ginger, cut into 1/8-inch slices |
2 cups water |
Directions:
1. Fill four glasses with club soda. Pour two tablespoons ginger syrup (see directions for making ginger syrup below) down side of each glass to create a layer of syrup on bottom. Squeeze lime wedge into each drink, garnish with a fresh lime wedge and candied ginger.
2. To make the ginger syrup: in a medium saucepan over high heat, combine sugar, ginger and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until syrupy and reduced by half, about 40 to 45 minutes. Strain ginger pieces out and reserve syrup. Makes 4 cups.
3. (Trick - toss dried ginger in sugar, bake at 200 degrees until dried thru, about 4 hours and voila-ginger candy).
