Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into thin discs
  • 2 cups sugar

  • Place two cups of water and two cups of sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add ginger to the sugar water and simmer on low heat for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Remove from heat and strain.
