What I Do with Fresh Ginger | Crystallized, Fermented, Syrup & More

I love fresh ginger, but a large piece often lasts much longer than I need for a single recipe. Instead of letting it dry out in the refrigerator, I process it into several useful pantry staples. In this video, I'll show you how I: • Peel and prepare fresh ginger • Make crystallized ginger for baking and snacking • Create ginger simple syrup • Ferment ginger for future cooking projects • Make ginger tea from the cooking liquid These simple methods help reduce waste while ensuring I always have ginger on hand for cooking, baking, and beverages. The crystallized ginger is especially good in my Double Ginger Cookies and makes a wonderful after-dinner treat paired with a small pour of bourbon. Here is a link to my recipe page where you can find the recipe for the double ginger cookies. https://www.wineandwhiskeytravelers.c... How do you use fresh ginger? Let me know in the comments.
