Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of fresh ginger – peeled and chopped finely
  • 1.5 cups of water
  • 2 tbsp of raw or white sugar
  • 3 tbsp of dark brown palm sugar for a richer color and flavor
  • 1 tbsp of freshly squeezed lime juice
  • Rum optional

Instructions
 

  • Add water and chopped ginger into a small pot, and cover. Bring to a boil, then turn fire off, and let steep for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in sugar, bring mixture to a boil, then turn fire off.  Pour in rum, if adding.
  • Allow ginger tonic to cool.  Drink a shot straight for best results. Transfer remaining tonic to an airtight jar and refrigerate.

Notes

- If the ginger tonic is too strong for you, first strain out the chopped ginger. Then go ahead and mix with hot water for a tea, or soda water and ice to make a ginger ale (or spicy cocktail if you already added rum). Whatever the form, you are still enjoying the health benefits of a ginger tonic.
- This ginger tonic can keep in the refrigerator for at least a few weeks.
