Ginger Juice Syrup

Today I made ginger juice syrup with left over stumps of ginger that are hard to peel (you don't NEED to peel them for this). Wash them and then add them and equal amounts of water and sugar. Dissolve this over the heat in a saucepan. At a half-sticky/half-watery consistency, remove this from the heat and add to water to make a tasty 'juice-concentrate'.

If you want to make real syrup to use on flapjacks and whatnot, bring it to a gentle boil until sticky. Hmmm. I think this is the best use for this. You get the most out of the taste.

leaves or You could use this sugar-water in a saucepan idea for any flavourings you like... try adding mint, lemon juice... or both. Or pineapple sage.
