Ingredients
- 2 oz. fresh ginger ~55 grams*
- 1 cup sugar granulated, brown, turbinado, or demerara

Notes
Turn it into a ginger soda at a 1:6 ratio or stronger with sparkling water or club soda.
* You do not need to peel the ginger. You can use up to 3-oz. of ginger if you're looking for it to be stronger, though I've found 2-oz. to be perfect.
