Canned ginger ale can't match the bite of a freshly made batch. This honey-sweetened treat is fun to make at home, whether you're stirring up some whiskey gingers or just want some good old soda.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 lemons, shredded rind only (no white pith)
4 tablespoons honey, to taste
1 cup boiling water
1 quart seltzer water

directions

Place the fresh ginger, lemon rinds, and honey in a heat-proof bowl. Add the boiling water. Stir gently then let the mixture steep for 5-10 minutes.

Strain the liquid through a sieve into a pitcher. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and chill completely (at least 2 hours).

When ready to serve, add the seltzer water to the ginger liquid. Serve over ice or use in cocktails or other drinks.
