Ingredients

2 cups - granulated sugar
1 cup - water
4 ounces - fresh ginger root
3 - limes

Instructions

Combine the sugar (2 cups), water (1 cup) and sliced ginger (4 ounces, thinly sliced) in a medium saucepan. Set over a medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring until all the sugar is dissolved. Allow to simmer on low for 15 minutes, then remove from the heat to cool with the ginger further infusing the syrup.
Strain the ginger when the syrup is completely cooled. For the best strain, use a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, though just a mesh strainer will do as well. Stir in the lime juice (from 3 limes), straining as well if necessary.
Use the syrup for cocktails and refreshing mocktails. Store in a sterilized bottle or jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
