    Making homemade refreshing drinks is my favorite one..I love to try different recipes and play around with it. I have made quite a few recipes in the past months when the weather was hot, so i will be posting quite a few drink recipes soon.

    Making homemade ginger ale was in my mind for so many days. And one fine day when i saw a bag full of fresh ginger lying around in the fridge. I got into action. 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.

      @AnonymousYes u could, the taste may vary a little, but still it will be delicious. And you dont have to boil it for a long time.
