Summer time is almost here and I always fin my self opening the fridge and there is nothing to drink!
I love ginger ale, but I don't like fizzy and heavy sugar based drinks, so I got creative and tried my own homemade ginger ale beverage. I love this ginger ale syrup because there is just so much you can do with Ginger ale syrup.The syrup can be used for tea if you are sick or a great mix for cocktail drinks. This can also be a great hostess gift and party favor.
{I had it with club soda, I added some orange slices and you can add some mint or rosemary}
{ Simple ingredients, you can also add orange peels and boil them all together and store in fridge}
{Chop , peel & boil ingredients, then strain and bottle}
{ No drinks in your fridge , just add ginger syrup with water or club soda!}
