Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Use freshly grated ginger, not ginger syrup, to get the most spice and aroma out of the drink without adding too much sweetness or artificial flavour.
Preparation Tip 2
Fine-strain the mixture to eliminate ginger pulp, producing a silky texture that doesn't take away from the layered, spicy-sweet taste.
