How to Make Ginger Cordial

  1. Peel and finely slice 1kg fresh ginger.
  2. Combine sliced ginger, 1.5 liters water, and 1kg granulated sugar in a large saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible.
  7. Pour the strained cordial into sterilized bottles, leaving a small gap at the top.
  8. Seal the bottles tightly and refrigerate. Your Ginger Cordial will be ready to enjoy in a few hours but will develop more flavor over time.
