Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar (for sweetening and coating)
  • 1 cup water (for boiling ginger)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Ginger

    Peel and slice fresh ginger into thin pieces.

    Use a sharp knife for even slices.
  2. Boil the Ginger

    In a saucepan, combine the sliced ginger and water. Bring to a boil.
