Lawnmowers could be heard running all through northwest Montana today….mine included. Midweek’s summer days gave way to a transition day of a couple of thunderstorms and more showers, but today dawned clear and cool at 43F.<\/p>\n

Who would have thought I might someday make my own ginger ale??? NOT me! But I saw this post: Sweet Savory Planet\u2019s Ginger Soda and Ginger Candy<\/a>…and it called to me. If you are a new reader, you may be unaware that I have an addiction to Vernor’s Ginger Ale…search for Vernor’s to see past posts if interested…<\/p>\n

To date, I have made 3 batches of ginger syrup and none have disappointed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The process is simple. Peel and slice the ginger. Add ginger, sugar and water to a pan. Bring to boil, then simmer for an hour.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Pour all through a sieve. Put the syrup in a jar. Coat the ginger with sugar and dry in the oven for crystallized ginger.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Put some syrup in a glass. Add carbonated water – I have an ISI siphon\/carbonator…works like the whipped cream thingy so I carbonate my own cold, clear and chlorine free well water :)! <\/p>\n

Ginger ale…well, Ginger soda. And it beats Vernor’s big time.<\/p>\n

AND…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

…the ginger candy – YUM!<\/p>\n

I love ginger, I love ginger soda, I love being able to make my own ginger soda.<\/p>\n

And this morning ???<\/p>\n

It looked like this:<\/p>\n
