*Ginger Syrup : Mix equal parts Freshly pressed Organic Ginger Juice (skin and all) and sugar. Shake or blend until sugar is incorporated. It will lose a bit of its bite after a few days but stays very delicious and keeps for up to 3-4 weeks in the fridge in a sterilized bottle (just dump the bottle and cap in boiling water for 10 minutes before using)
