Tips:
- Choose the right ginger: Use fresh, young ginger for the best flavor. Avoid using old or woody ginger, as it will not produce a good cordial.
- Peel the ginger thinly: This will help to prevent the cordial from becoming cloudy.
- Use a sharp knife: This will make it easier to slice the ginger thinly.
- Simmer the ginger gently: Do not boil the ginger, as this will make the cordial bitter.
- Strain the cordial carefully: Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove all of the ginger solids.
- Store the cordial in a cool, dark place: This will help to preserve the flavor and quality of the cordial.
