this time I used the simple recipie where you put all the ingredients in the bottle (from this page How to Make Ginger Ale )

it's not as ginger-y as when I made a syrup with the ginger and sugar. But it's still good.

it so? I'll have to try the other recipe, then! (I am very lazy... )

making the syrup doesn't take long. Just a 1:1 water sugar mixture on the stove, heat until the sugar dissolves, add the ginger, cover and let rest a couple of hours. Strain it into the bottle.

if you feel ambitious, add the grated zest of the lemon.

and I have a lot of lemons
