Pro tip: Throw a few peppercorns into the boil to bring an additional layer of spice. Trust me, it's a whole different level. And if you're daring, a cinnamon stick won't hurt. Spice up your life!

Homemade ginger ale? Why bother when you can just buy a can and save yourself the trouble. Seems like a lot of work for a fizzy drink lol

Made this w/ my mom and it was so fun! Tastes spicy and sweet and FIZZY! I like putting ice in mine 😁

Cool recipe, but is there a way to cut down on sugar without losing the taste? Anyone tried a sweetener substitute?

Lemon juice is a game-changer! Also, if anyone's a fan of grapefruit, substituting the lemon juice with grapefruit juice adds a bitter twist that's pretty amazing. Definitely trying this out.

Hey folks, long-time brewer here. Love the simplicity, but if you want to go the extra mile, consider adding some fermentation into the process with a ginger bug. It's a natural way to introduce carbonation and probiotics. And it's not as difficult as it sounds - just some ginger, sugar, and water left to ferment for a few days, then use it in place of some of the water in the syrup. Adds depth to the flavor too. Cheers!

This sounds awesome, can't wait to try it out this weekend! Quick q: any tips on peeling ginger effectively? Always struggle with that part.

Just whipped this up and OMG! What a punch the fresh ginger gives! Way better than store-bought. Totally worth the effort. I might play around with the sugar levels a bit next time tho, a tad too sweet for me!
