Ingredients
- 3 Cups Sliced Ginger
- 2 Cups Brown Sugar
- 1 Cup Rock Sugar
Instructions
- In a small pot on medium high, sauté ginger with brown sugar for 2-3 minutes, or until sugar dissolves.
- Add in rock sugar, and mix all ingredients in a pan over low simmer until all the sugar has dissolved, and the liquid is thick like honey. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Strain the ginger from the pot onto parchment paper to cool, using chopsticks to spread out the slices.
- Pour the syrup into a separate parchment paper-lined baking dish.
- Let both cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut cooled syrup into cubes. Each cube should be about 1-1.5 tbsp.
- To make the tea, add 1 cube to a cup of hot water.
Notes
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.
