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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the spring ginger roots, and rub off any dirty bits with your fingers. Scrape off any parts that you can't rub off with a knife (you won't be peeling the skin).
- 2
Cut the branched out pieces apart. Cut off the red ends, and transfer to a bowl.
- 3
Slice the main root parts thinly and add to the bowl. You don't have to be too concerned about slicing it very thin.
- 4
Add the sugar to the sliced ginger and red end bits, and mix well. Leave for 30 minutes.
- 5
After 30 minutes, the ginger will have exuded lots of liquid.
- 6
Transfer the ginger and liquid to a pan, and start cooking over medium heat. When it comes to a boil turn the heat down to low. Simmer for about 30 minutes while skimming the scum.
- 7
※If you want the syrup to be spicy, add 1 cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamon pods etc. to taste.
- 8
Turn the heat off and add the lemon juice. When it's mixed in the syrup, it'll turn a pretty pink.
- 9
Leave to cool to room temperature.
- 10
Strain off the liquid and transfer to a storage jar to finish ♪ Store the syrup in the refrigerator.
- 11
The strained spring ginger can be used in ginger sugar or simmered sweet-salty ginger (ginger tsukudani). The photo shows some ginger tsukudani. Or you can just store it as-is in the refrigerator and use it in cooking.
- 12
※To make ginger sugar: Dry the strained off ginger in the sun. When it's dry but still soft, coat with lots of granulated sugar to finish ♪
- 13
※To make ginger tsukudani: Put the strained off ginger, dried sardine powder (iriko), cut up konbu seaweed etc. in a pan. Add soy sauce, sake and water, and simmer until the liquid has reduced to almost nothing. Add bonito flakes and sesame seeds to taste to finish.

You can make the syrup with regular ginger in the same way, but the syrup will be yellow, not pink. I got 280 ml of syrup from 300 g of ginger.

Brown Sugar and Ginger Syrup Brown Sugar and Ginger Syrup
There are many recipes out there for brown sugar and ginger, but I wanted to make a version that was as concentrated as possible easily. I used to make this the "even easier" way, but ever since I encountered Cookpad user La Land's brown sugar syrup I've been adding mizuame to mine too. This is how I've been making this several times since last year.The amount of brown sugar that will melt in the juices that come out of the ginger is limited. If you use the "easier" method in particular, the lower the humidity the harder it is for the sugar to melt. You can just stir it up from the bottom of the jar before using, or put the jar in hot water to warm it through, and any crystallized parts will melt. Recipe by Soraten mama

Spring Ginger Simmered in Honey 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!

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 -

Ginger Jam with Apples Ginger Jam with Apples
I wanted to add some apple juice to my shogayaki, but since it's a waste to buy it, I made it myself.This is great as a secret ingredient in dishes such as curry, tsumire fishballs, and in dressings, etc.Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the apples.The apples are already sweet, so if you use about 20% of the weight of the ginger and apples for the sugar, it will be quite sweet. Adjust the amount depending on the food you will use it in.The ginger is spicy, so be sure to adjust to taste. Recipe by Ringo Ringo. -
