Ginger Spritzer

Fresh ginger, raw sugar, honey, lemon, water, soda water

Thinly slice 300g unpeeled fresh ginger and put in a pot with 1½ cups raw sugar, ½ cup honey, the peeled zest and juice of 1 lemon and 4 cups of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes to make a concentrated syrup. Cool then strain. Store in a sealed bottle. Splash some syrup into a glass; top up with ice and soda water to make a spritzer. Or use boiling water to make hot ginger tea. Makes 3-4 cups
