Jujube Honey Ginger Syrup

How to make it

1. 1

   Peel the ginger, wash it clean, and either slice it thin or grate it fine.

2. 2

   Put the ginger and the jujube juice or water in a pot and bring it to a boil.

3. 3

   Once it boils, lower the heat and simmer it 20 to 30 minutes so the ginger's aroma draws out fully.

4. 4

   Turn off the heat, let it cool below about 60°C, then add the honey and stir it in completely.

5. 5

   Pour it into a clean sterilized bottle, cool it completely, and keep it refrigerated.

6. 6

   Stir 1 to 2 Tbsp of the syrup into 1 cup of warm water to drink. This syrup has water in it, so don't keep it at room temperature for long — use it within 2 to 3 weeks.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

• Too sweet? Let it down with water or sparkling water. Too sharp? Add syrup a little at a time, tasting as you go. Once it is mixed in there is no taking it back, so add in small amounts.
