Ginger Syrup
- 1 pound of race ginger
- 2 gallons of water
- 1 pound of loaf-sugar
Procure one pound of race ginger, and beat it into small pieces. Lay them in a pan, cover them with water, and let them soak all night. Next day, take the ginger with the water in which it was soaked, and put it into a preserving kettle with two gallons of water, and boil it down to seven pints. Let it settle, and then strain it through muslin. To each pint of the liquid add one pound of loaf-sugar. After the sugar has melted in the liquor, return to the kettle and boil it one hour more, skimming it well. When cold, bottle it for use.
