Ginger syrup is a little gem for those who love a touch of spice in their desserts. This syrup is perfect for drizzling over fruity or creamy ice creams, adding a subtle warmth and balanced sweetness. Plus, it's super easy to make and so versatile!
Ingredients :
- 200g of fresh ginger
- 500 ml of water
- 300 g of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, for a touch of freshness)
Preparation :
- Prepare the ginger.
Start by peeling the fresh ginger and cutting it into thin slices or small pieces. - Cook the ginger.
In a saucepan, add the water, sugar, and ginger pieces. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. This will allow the ginger to release its full flavor into the syrup. - Add the lemon juice.
If you'd like to add a touch of acidity, pour the tablespoon of lemon juice into the syrup at the end of cooking. This will give it a little extra zing. - Filter the syrup.
Once the syrup has infused, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer to remove the ginger pieces and obtain a smooth syrup. - Preserve your syrup.
Pour the syrup into an airtight bottle or jar and store it in the refrigerator. It can be kept for several weeks and will solidify slightly as it cools.
My Personal Tip:
This ginger syrup is perfect for drizzling over lemon or mango ice cream. I also like to add it to coconut ice cream for a contrast between the creamy sweetness and the ginger's zing. You can even use it to flavor iced drinks or in homemade cocktails. In any case, it's a real treat with frozen yogurt!
And there you have it, a homemade ginger syrup that will add an original and spicy touch to your frozen desserts. Easy to make, it's a real flavor boost for your Ninja Creami creations
