The most extreme recipe I saw was to take 3 cubes (1 inch a side) and blend it and strain/filter to yield an ounce or so of juice. Add an ounce of sugar to yield 1 1/2 oz of syrup.<br /><br />I don't make mine as strong. I take an ounce of sugar and add a cube of ginger (about 1 inch a side) that I either dice up or grate before adding. I muddle the ginger in the sugar in a coffee cup, add about an ounce of water, and gently microwave and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let steep for 5-10 minutes. Then I fine strain out the ginger bits. The yield is about 1 1/2 oz. <br /><br />We have also bought the Ginger People's ginger syrup which starts out sharp but loses flavor over time.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-62222756509646011442011-06-03T12:32:21.071-04:002011-06-03T12:32:21.071-04:00This sounds fabulous.
