Ginger Syrup

Ming Tsai

Ingredients

• • 2 cups sugar

  • 2 cups fresh ginger, cut into 1/8-inch slices (about 2 large hands)

  • 2 cups water

Directions

• 1. In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine sugar, ginger and water and bring to a boil.

  2. Reduce heat and simmer until syrupy and reduced by half. Syrup should hold a line of a plate.

  3. Strain ginger pieces out and reserve syrup.

(Trick: toss drained ginger in sugar, bake at 200 degrees until dried thru, about 4 hours and voila-ginger candy)
