Method
- Wash and slice the lemon.
- Peel and slice the ginger. If you love ginger then you can add more to your mixture if you desired.
- Place the lemon and ginger into the glass jar in layers. Then pour over the maple syrup until the ingredients are covered.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours to allow the flavours to infuse.
- Give the lemon ginger syrup a gentle mix (the maple syrup will settle to the bottom). Then scoop a spoonful into a mug and add hot water. Enjoy!
- Over time the mixture might go a little bit jelly like and that's okay, just give it a quick stir before using. This syrup should keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.
Buying Tips
