  • 4 (12 oz) cans lime (or citrus) sparkling water, chilled
  • 1 lime (optional for garnish)

Steps

    1. Peel ginger and slice thinly (about 2 cups). Place water and sugar in medium saucepan and bring to a boil on medium. Stir in ginger, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 30 minutes. Strain, discard solids, and chill ginger syrup 30 minutes.

Other Preparation Methods
    • Candy: Coat cooling rack with cooking spray. Place about 2 cups peeled, thinly sliced ginger and 4 cups water in large saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook 35–40 minutes until ginger is tender. Drain (reserving 2 tablespoons liquid). Return ginger to pan with 1 cup sugar and reserved liquid. Cook 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until two-thirds of liquid has evaporated. Spread ginger on rack and cool completely.
    • Dip: Combine 2 teaspoons peeled and grated ginger with 2 tablespoons each soy sauce and sweet chili sauce. Serve with vegetables or spring rolls for dipping.
