Homemade Ginger Simple Syrup recipe is easy to make with just three ingredients and step-by-step instructions. This sweet, fragrant syrup adds big flavor and a touch of spice to your favorite cocktails, drinks, and more!

Flavored simple syrups are an easy way to add fun and unique flavors to your favorite tea, lemonade, or coffee drinks. They also add some spice to cocktails and ice cream. The possibilities are endless!!

What you will need:

You need just three simple ingredients; filtered water, granulated sugar, and grated ginger root.

Ginger root can be found in just about all grocery stores across the country. It is usually near the garlic or fresh herbs.

How to make ginger infused simple syrup:

Place the water and sugar in a medium sauce pan and stir to combine.

Heat over medium-high heat until completely dissolved, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Once mixture comes to a boil add the ginger, cover, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup or jar.

Store the syrup in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If it begins to become cloudy or moldy, discard immediately.

Recipe modifications:

• Substitute dark brown for a deeper flavor, or coconut sugar for variety.
• Add the peels of two lemons for a lemon-ginger syrup, two limes for a lime-ginger syrup, or two oranges for an orange-ginger syrup.
• Add a quarter cup of rosemary or thyme with the ginger for an herbal infusion.
• One to two cups of rhubarb, cranberries, blueberries, or pineapple can be added with the ginger for a fruity-ginger syrup.

Tools used to create this recipe:

• Saucepan with Lid
• Zester/Grater
• Silicone Spatula
• Fine-Mesh Sieve – I used the medium size.
• Glass Cruet
