Warming Ginger Syrup Recipe
I always keep fresh ginger on hand — it’s a lifesaver for upset stomachs (especially during early pregnancy!). Beyond its soothing properties, ginger root adds a delightful kick to everything from teas and cocktails to gingerbread and marinades. On its own, it’s a bit spicy, but turning it into a ginger syrup makes it both sweet and versatile. Plus, this warming root supports circulation and immunity, making it a perfect companion for chilly days.

Ingredients
-
⅓ cup fresh ginger root (roughly chopped)
-
4 cups water
-
1 cup raw honey
Directions
Combine ingredients: Place the sliced ginger and water in a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Simmer slowly: Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Allow the liquid to reduce to about 1 cup — keeping the lid slightly ajar so some steam can escape.
Strain and adjust: Remove from heat and strain out the ginger pieces. Pour the warm infusion into a heat-safe glass jar (a Mason jar works perfectly). If you have more than 1 cup, continue simmering until reduced. If it’s less, top it up with a little hot water to make 1 full cup.
Sweeten: Stir in the raw honey until fully dissolved.
Store: Keep your homemade ginger syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze it for longer storage.
Recipe Note
Add other herbs as desired with the ginger while it simmers. See the above article for suggestions.
This syrup is very thin. If you want a thicker syrup you can simmer the honey with the ginger, but then it won’t be raw.
