Ginger Syrup

From the kitchen of Carly

Bright, spicy syrup that transforms a glass of sparkling water into something genuinely crave-worthy. Thirty minutes of gentle simmering pulls all that ginger heat and warmth into the liquid. Strain it, cool it, and you've got a pantry staple that keeps for weeks.
