Homemade ginger ale are so good, they are a perfect thirst quencher and taste so fresh than store bought ones. It is so simple to make. You can make the syrup ahead of time and keep in the fridge for so many days. So you will be having a handy syrup whenever you wanted.

- Switch off the flame and let it sit for 30 mins.
- Now strain this using a fine strainer.
- Pour this back into the sauce pan. Add in sugar and bring it to boil. Mix well so the sugar is dissolved.
- Now the ginger syrup is done. Allow this to cool down and store in a clean dry bottle. Keep refrigerated.
- Now make ginger ale. Take a glass and add some icecubes in the bottom.
