Zubereitung von Ginger Citrus Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, the zest of 1 lemon, and 1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice, and the zest of 1/2 grapefruit.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering syrup. Continue to stir for 1-2 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove ginger and zest pieces (optional, for a smoother syrup).
- Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean, airtight glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
- To use, add 2-4 tablespoons of syrup to a mug of hot water. Stir well and enjoy! For added relief, consider pairing with your preferred over-the-counter pain reliever as directed by the packaging.
