Tips
Do not peel ginger if using a slow juicer, just cut into chunks.
Strain ginger juice through a muslin cloth to remove small particles and sediments for clearer syrups.
Label your syrup bottles to indicate intensity.
When making gum syrup, a magnetic stirrer can hydrate gum arabic powder in about an hour.
For ginger ale, the flavor profile will be closer to ginger beer due to the intensity of the ginger syrups, but it's not fermented.
For bottled ginger ale, slowly top up with cold soda water and use a bottle capper.
