Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by gathering your fresh ginger roots, artificial sweetener, and cinnamon sticks. Ensure your ginger is fresh and free from any blemishes for the best flavor.
2. Grate the Ginger:
Using a fine grater, grate the fresh ginger roots into small, manageable pieces. You want to extract as much flavor from the ginger as possible, so don’t be afraid to get creative with your grating technique.
3. Mix Ingredients in a Mason Jar:
In a clean mason jar, combine the grated ginger, artificial sweetener, and cinnamon sticks. Give the mixture a gentle stir to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Steep in the Fridge:
To infuse the flavors together, cap the mason jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to steep for at least half an hour, allowing the ginger to impart its spicy essence into the liquid. For a more intense flavor, you can let it steep for longer.
5. Strain and Serve:
After the steeping process is complete, remove the mason jar from the fridge. If you opted to grate the ginger directly into the jar, you’ll need to strain the mixture to remove the ginger pieces. Alternatively, to avoid straining, you can place the grated ginger in a tea ball before steeping. Serve your sparkling homemade ginger ale over ice and garnish with an additional cinnamon stick for extra flair.
