Homemade Ginger Ale!

Homemade Ginger Ale is awesome! I dont think I will ever go back to store bought ginger ale. This has a real kick to it. Also good with a little lemon juice... Sorry cant rotate the photos...

2 cups thinly sliced ginger (use a mandolin! makes it easier)
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
(or even amounts to make more I used 3.3.3)

1. Place all ingredients into a saucepot and bring to a boil over medium.
2. Simmer/slow boil until reduces by half.
3. Remove from heat and allow to cool until able to handle.
4. Strain and put syrup into glass jar.
5. Add 1ounce syrup to approx. 10ounces selzer use more or less depending on your preference, remember it is very strong!
6. ENJOY your lovely beverage as Alton Brown would say!

Mmmmmm!

I store in an empty applesauce jar...
