List of Ingredients
Ingredients
2 cups (about 10 ounces) coarsely chopped, peeled fresh ginger
3 strips lemon peel (about 4 inches each), yellow part only
1-1/2 cups splenda
3 quarts chilled sparkleing seltzer water
Ice cubesRecipe
Combine ginger, lemon peel, and 4 cups water in a 3- to 4-quart pan. Bring to a boil over high heat; boil gently, uncovered, 10 minutes. Stir in 1-1/2 cups splenda and continue boiling until mixture is reduced to 3 cups, about 15 minutes longer. Pour mixture through a fine wire strainer set over a bowl. Discard peel; reserve ginger for another use or discard. Cool syrup, cover, and chill until cold, at least 1 hour or up to 1 week.
For each serving, in a 16-ounce glass, mix 1/4 cup ginger syrup with 1 cup cold sparkling seltzer water. Add more ginger syrup, ice, and splenda to taste.
Makes: About 4 quarts, 12 servings
