Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour
- Begin by bringing 3 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot over high heat.
-
While the water is heating up, peel and thinly slice the ginger into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Once the water is boiling, add the sliced ginger to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the ginger simmer in the water for 10 minutes, allowing its flavors to infuse into the water.
-
After 10 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and carefully strain out the ginger pieces, using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the ginger juice from the liquid. Discard the ginger pieces or save them for another use.
-
Transfer the ginger juice to a clean jar or bottle, then add 2 teaspoons of vanilla flavoring and 3 tablespoons of stevia powder to the jar, stirring until well combined.
-
Allow the ginger syrup to cool to room temperature, then seal the jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. This syrup concentrate can be kept for several weeks, allowing you to enjoy homemade ginger ale whenever you like.

Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes (includes preparation and cooking time)

Serving:
- To serve, fill a glass with 6-8 ounces of sparkling water, depending on your preference for a stronger or milder ginger flavor.
-
Add 1/8 to 1/4 cup of the homemade ginger syrup to the sparkling water, adjusting the amount to suit your taste.
