Ginger Liqueur

Ingredients

200ml vodka
caster or granulated sugar
fresh root ginger

You will also need a 275ml glass bottle to store the liqueur in. I used an empty lemon juice bottle.

Method

Peel, rinse then dice the ginger.
Put vodka and ginger in a glass jug and bruise the ginger with the back of a spoon.
Gradually add sugar until the liquid is saturated (no more will dissolve).
Using a funnel, transfer to a glass bottle and seal. Leave to sit in a cool, dark place for for at least a week before drinking. You might want to make a label for your liqueur.

This liqueur is best served neat, or with lemonade.
