Homemade Ginger Syrup

The main ingredient for this sweet ginger tea is my special homemade ginger syrup. It’s so simple to make and only requires 3 ingredients: ginger, brown sugar, and rock sugar. I love making these handy brown sugar ginger tea cubes in big batches. This way, I always have some ginger sugar cubes in my pantry.

To enjoy, all I need to do is pour hot water over one or two cubes whenever I want a soothing, comforting cup of ginger tea.  This particular recipe is extra special to me because it’s my mom’s family recipe, so it give me that extra reminder of home! I also sometimes use these ginger syrup cubes and candied ginger for cooking – especially for dishes with strong ginger flavors!

Making Hot Ginger Tea for 22 People in My Home Cafe

This month, I hosted a café experience for 22 amazing people in my life. If you couldn’t tell, my love language is definitely food.

With treats such as chicken salad croissants, matcha lemon tonic, matcha shortbread cookies, and more.

Ginger: So Many Amazing Health Benefits

If you’re like me and suffer from cramps in the winter, this brown sugar ginger tea will be a life saver for you! In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger has so many great benefits for your body. This delicious, medicinal tea is known improving circulation and reducing inflammation, which warms the body, eases fatigue, relieves cramps. It’s considered a digestive aid, and even fights off the common cold! With so many health benefits, it’s an easy drink choice for any cold evening.

Candied Ginger and Ginger Syrup Cubes

For less messy storage, I love to make candied ginger and syrup cubes from this Brown Sugar Ginger Syrup recipe. Always make sure you separate the candied ginger pieces so they don’t cool and harden into one big lump. Pour the leftover syrup into a baking dish with parchment paper to cool, and cut once solid.

To serve, place 1 brown sugar ginger syrup cube into a cup with 1-2 pieces of candied ginger. Both the syrup and candied ginger can be stored in airtight containers. The candied ginger lasts about 3 weeks and the ginger syrup cubes can be stored up to 1 month.
