Ginger Ale Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups of chopped ginger
- 3.5 cups of filtered water
- 4 tablespoons of Maple Syrup
- Juice from 1.5 lemons
- Sparkling water
- Optional: Fresh cranberries for a festive touch
Instructions for Natural Gingerale
Step 1: Prepare the Ginger Infusion
Begin by combining 1.5 cups of chopped ginger with 3.5 cups of filtered water in a saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes. This process allows the ginger to infuse into the water, creating a flavorful base for our ginger ale.
Step 2: Mix Lemon Juice and Maple Syrup
While the ginger is simmering, mix the juice from 1.5 lemons with 4 tablespoons of maple syrup in a separate bowl.
This combination of citrusy tang and natural sweetness will add depth and balance to your ginger ale.
Step 3: Strain and Combine
After 30 minutes, strain the ginger-infused liquid into a jar, ensuring that you separate the ginger pieces from the liquid.
Mix the strained liquid with the previously prepared lemon juice and maple syrup mixture. This creates a concentrated ginger ale base that you’ll store in the fridge for later use.
Step 4: Store the Concentrate
Place the jar with the concentrate in the fridge. Having this concentrate on hand makes it incredibly convenient to whip up a glass of ginger ale whenever the craving strikes.
Step 5: Prepare a Glass of Homemade Ginger Ale
When you’re ready for a refreshing glass of ginger ale, pour 1/4 cup of the concentrate over ice.
Top it off with sparkling water, adjusting the ratio to your preferred level of sweetness and fizziness.
Step 6: Optional – Add Cranberries for a Festive Twist
For a festive touch or a burst of color, add a handful of fresh cranberries to your ginger ale.
Not only do they enhance the visual appeal, but they also bring a delightful tartness to the drink.
You can also add a splash of homemade cranberry juice for a pop of flavor.
