How to Make Ginger Sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger (using a microplane is recommended).
  3. Spread the mixture evenly in a shallow baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) to a layer about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges of the sugar begin to melt and the ginger is fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from oven and stir gently to distribute the ginger evenly.
  6. Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature. This will take approximately 24-48 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping.
  7. Once completely cool and dry, grind the sugar to your desired texture using a mortar and pestle, a food processor, or the back of a fork. Store in an airtight container.
