Fizzy Ginger

 

Ginger syrup:

3 cups of water

2 cups of sugar

6 inch piece of ginger, chopped

 

Fizzy Ginger:

ginger syrup

1 liter sparkling water, chilled

juice of 3 to 4 lemons, depending on size

8 thin slices of candied ginger to garnish each glass

 

Prepare the ginger syrup: Combine the water, sugar, and ginger in a medium

saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce heat and simmer

until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and

steep the mixture for 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse the syrup. Strain

the syrup into a pitcher, discarding the ginger. Chill, covered, until cold for

at least 1 hour.

Prepare the Fizzy Ginger: Add the sparkling water and lemon juice to the

pitcher with the cooled syrup and stir well. Divide among tall, chilled glasses

over ice cubes and garnish each drink with a slice of candied ginger. Yields 8

servings.
