Ginger is widely used by many cousins. It’s very popular in Asian recipes but has been used for centuries all around the world. You can use ginger in soups, stir-fries, sauces, and, of course, many desserts, like these Ginger Chocolate Orange Cookies, which are the bomb!

Ginger comes in many forms: fresh, dry, canned, in powder, or paste.

Note: For exact measurements and detailed instructions, see the recipe card below.

The process of making this recipe is very simple. You need 3 ingredients: ginger, water, and sugar. I prefer to use raw cane sugar or brown sugar because it adds an extra depth of flavor. But of course, you can just make it with regular white sugar if that’s what you have on hand.

• Add sugar and water to a saucepan and cook on medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.

• Peel the ginger and slice it into thin pieces.

• Add the sliced ginger and simmer for about 30 minutes on low heat with a lid not fully closed. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will become.

• Once done, leave the ginger in the syrup while cooling.

• When cooled, remove the ginger pieces using a sieve and transfer the syrup to a clean jar.

You can store the ginger syrup well-sealed in the fridge for up to 2 months.
