Real Ginger Ale




Source of Recipe


"The Kids' Multicultural Cookbook"


List of Ingredients




1-1/2 # fresh ginger
6 C water
1 C sugar
seltzer water
lemon slices
ice cubes



Recipe



Peel and chop the ginger. In a large saucepan, stir the ginger with the water and sugar.
Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely. Set a
strainer over a container. Strain the liquid to remove the
ginger pieces. You now have ginger syrup.

To make the ginger ale, pour about 1/4 cup of the syrup
into a tall glass. Fill the glass with seltzer water, a lemon slice, and ice cubes. Stir with a tall spoon and serve.
Makes 16 cups of fresh ginger ale.
