Instructions
Step 1
In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the Redpath® Golden Yellow Sugar, lemon juice, water, and salt. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugars.
Step 2
Add the minced ginger, strips of orange zest, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low or low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to allow the flavours to infuse; 15 minutes.
Step 3
Place the slightly cooled syrup into the fridge to chill completely; 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 4
Use a fine mesh sieve to strain the chilled ginger syrup into an airtight container, such as a mason jar. The sweet and spicy ginger syrup will last for up to a month stored in the fridge.
