This turmeric ginger syrup adds sweet and spicy flavor to your favorite tea, soda water, or craft mocktails. The deep earthiness of turmeric root is perfectly complemented by the bright and zesty flavor of fresh ginger.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground turmeric
  • 2 tbsp ginger juice (I use The Ginger People)

Instructions
 

  • To make the syrup, combine one cup of hot water with one cup of white sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then add one tablespoon of ground turmeric.
  • I like to place the turmeric in a tea bag to prevent any grit from winding up in the finished syrup. Alternatively, you could strain the finished, cooled syrup through a few layers of cheesecloth.
  • Let the turmeric steep in the hot syrup for about five to ten minutes. When the liquid is a brilliant yellow-orange and flavorful, you can remove the tea bag, squeezing it to extract as much turmeric flavor as possible.
  • Discard the tea bag and add two tablespoons of ginger juice. Stir to combine, then pour the cooled syrup into a bottle or jar with a lid.
  • Store any leftover syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
