Now I’m going to try making a Ginger Orange syrup, also with lemon, and also candy the ginger and the orange and lemon peels. And maybe even dip the orange peels in chocolate?
I’m thinking this syrup will also be good in hot tea and maybe even in a cocktail, or warm with whiskey as a cough syrup. I’m making it for carbonating.
