Ingredients
- 500g caster sugar
- 350g root ginger, coarsely grated
- Pared rind and juice of 2 lemons
- Soda water or sparkling mineral water, to dilute
Method
Pour 500ml water into a pan and add the sugar. Place the pan over a medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the ginger and lemon rind to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the mixture to cool. Add the lemon juice to the mixture.
