Spring Ginger Simmered in Honey
I saw a recipe for a poundcake made with sweet simmered spring ginger in a cookbook. I wanted to make that cake so I made this. The cookbook used sugar, but I thought honey would be a healthier alternative.
This will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. If you want to keep it longer, it's better to freeze it.
If you want more ginger-flavored syrup, add more honey.
You can eat the ginger as-is, but chill it very very well!
Chop it up and use it in various recipes! Recipe by John Lee Cooker

Ginger In Honey For Ginger Tea Ginger In Honey For Ginger Tea
I've been making this for some time, but after seeing toshiebaba's COOKPAD diary entry (Japanese) about using black tea + ginger to combat viruses, I decided to post this recipe. It's really easy, and you can use it in the wintertime to rev up your metabolism.The honey layes and the ginger juice layers tend to separate, so mix it up before using. After a lot of juice has come out of the ginger, the liquid won't crystalize even if you put the preserved ginger in the refrigerator, and it keeps quite well I think. In the summertime, if you are worried about spoilage, take the ginger out and bring the liquid to a boil before storing. Recipe by Soraten mama -

Honey Ginger Lemon Honey Ginger Lemon
I'm sensitive to the cold; obviously I'm cold in the winter, but even in the summer I get cold from the breeze that comes out of air conditioners.It's said that ginger warms you up and that vinegar slows the rise of blood sugar, which is good for dieting. I combined these two ingredients and made this drink. It was surprisingly easy to drink.If you would prefer it a little sweeter, or with more ginger, go ahead and alter this recipe to your preferences.There are many kinds of vinegar available, but use whatever you like.

Rich Ginger Syrup Made with Spring Ginger Rich Ginger Syrup Made with Spring Ginger
This ginger syrup takes advantage of the color of spring ginger. I made a rich syrup that just uses the moisture that is exuded by the spring ginger. Add this syrup to milk to make ginger milk.You can use any kind of sugar you like, but if you want to enjoy the pink color of spring ginger, use white castor sugar or granulated sugar.Enjoy the syrup in water, milk, tea, shochu (liquor) or any thing you like. If you add it to soda water, you'll have homemade ginger ale! Recipe by @rinrinmaru -

Ginger-Honey Tofu Dessert Soup Ginger-Honey Tofu Dessert Soup
I used my "Spring Ginger Simmered in Honey"and referred to a tofu cookbook I bought recently to come up with a healthy dessert that is perfect for the summer.You can leave out the matcha tea powder and moist amanatto, but if you add them they will counteract the tofu-ness of the tofu, and it will taste a bit like uji kintoki (a sweet bean and green tea flavored treat).Use a good quality silken tofu.

Honey Ginger Syrup (Ginger Tea) Honey Ginger Syrup (Ginger Tea)
Up until recently, I had just been soaking ginger in honey, but my aunt taught me how to make ginger syrup.The amount of sugar used to make the candied ginger should be 20% the weight of the original amount of ginger used when making syrup.Adding 1 teaspoon lemon juice to the syrup makes it taste delicious (for ginger tea and sweets), but since the syrup can also be used for cooking, I decided that it's best to leave it out.Even after 1 day of soaking the ginger will produce a lot of extract, but don't be impatient! Allow the ginger to slowly soak for 5 days. It will result in a mildly spicy delicious syrup.While soaking in Step 3, give the jar a shake from time to time to dissolve the honey.In Step 5, remove the scum when simmering. Recipe by La Land
