Ginger Simple Syrup

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

This Ginger Simple Syrup is made with fresh ginger which gives it a delicious spicy warm flavor that shines in fall and winter cocktails, mocktails, tea, and more!

  • Total Time20 minutes
  • Yield1 1/3 cup 1x
  • DietVegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh peeled ginger (the smaller the pieces, the more ginger flavor they will infuse into the syrup)

Instructions

  1. Add the cane sugar, water, and chopped ginger to a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat stirring constantly until the sugar melts.
  3. Simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  4. Take the syrup off the heat and allow the ginger to steep for 10-15 minutes. You can let it steep for less or more time depending on how strong you want the syrup to be. Taste it and adjust.
  5. Remove the ginger or strain the syrup into a large measuring jar.
  6. Pour into an airtight jar and wait for the syrup to cool down before closing with a lid.
  7. Store the syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Freezer: Freeze any leftover syrup you won’t be able to use in a freezer-safe container for 2-4 months. I like to freeze it in small 2-4 serving containers and label them so I always know how much I’m defrosting.

The syrup yields about 10 servings at 2 tbsp per serving.
