Equipment

  • 1 Jar or bottle with lid

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup ginger cubed
  • ½ cup sugar

Instructions

  • Chop fresh ginger root into cubes.
  • Mix pineapple juice, ginger and sugar.
  • In a saucepan, or in a microwave-safe container, bring the ingredients to a boil.
  • After boiling, remove from heat and mix for sugar to fully dissolve.
  • Let it cool for at least 20 minutes. That will make sure the syrup gets enough ginger flavor when using fresh ginger root.
  • Strain the syrup to remove ginger root.
  • Store it in a jar or recipient with an airtight lid after cooled. Keep it refrigerated.

Notes

Substitutions:
Sugar: Brown sugar, add the same amount. Erythritol or monk sugar (sugar-free options), add only ⅓ cup.
Ginger: Ginger powder, add only ½ tbsp. Ginger juice, add ½ cup.
Tips:
Shake well pineapple juice before measuring it, if using bottled.
You don't need to peel the ginger root, but wash it well.
If using ginger juice, you don't need to bring it to a boil: just heat so the sugar dissolves faster. No need to strain also, as you'll be using only juice and sugar.
