Ginger Concentrate

Want to use ginger to make your own ginger ale or add the juice to a recipe?

I couldn't believe how simple this was!

Take a piece of ginger root - about the size of a post-it - peel off the flat areas. You could leave all the peel on, or take all the peel off. I thought taking some off would help when I strained the juice. But I definitely didn't want to take the time or loose ginger trying to peel all of it. After all I was planning to strain the juice.

Chop ginger root into to 1/2" to 1" pieces. Place in high-end blender jar. Add up to 2 cups of warm water. Run a cycle or two until completely juiced.

Strain into a jar.

Keep your concentrate in the refrigerator.
