Method
Preparation
Prepare the Ginger Syrup
Peel and finely chop the fresh ginger root. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped ginger and granulated sugar with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture has thickened slightly.
Strain the Syrup
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture into a bowl using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the ginger pieces. Let the syrup cool.
Final Assembly
Combine Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled ginger syrup, lemon juice, and carbonated water. Stir gently to mix.
Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the ginger ale over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
