• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 500 milliliters water
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 750 milliliters sparkling water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the ginger syrup to cool to room temperature. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the ginger pulp.
