Method
- Put everything in a saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to the boil and turn the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 mins until the ginger is starting to soften and the mixture is becoming really fragrant.
- Strain into sterilised* bottles, seal and leave to cool. Label and decorate with ribbon, then store in the fridge. This will keep in the fridge in a sealed container for up to one month.
Tip: Serve with still or sparkling water, or pour a little over ice cream or a meringue dessert.
*To sterilise glass jars, wash in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Dry in the oven for 15-20 mins at gas 1, 140°C, fan 120°C until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 mins, then leave to dry.
