This variation on Mint Syrup is called for in our Asian Iced Tea recipe. With its exotic taste, ginger syrup can be used as a replacement for Simple Syrup in many recipes to add complexity and intensity to your drink. It can also be used as the sweetening base for a marinade, mixed with spices to make a paste for a moist rub, or combined with fruit for a quick dessert.

Game plan: This can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

  • Peel ginger and cut it into 6 roughly equal pieces. Place ginger, sugar, and water in a small nonreactive saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. When mixture boils, reduce heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved and syrup is slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and discard ginger pieces. Let cool, then strain syrup into a container with a tightfitting lid, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
