Worth Knowing Before You Cook

Grate the ginger finely so the flavour spreads.

Use raw cider vinegar for the best flavour.

Serve over plenty of ice.

Changing the Recipe

• If you only have ground ginger, a quarter-teaspoon for each tablespoon of fresh is the ratio usually given; it tastes warmer and less bright than the fresh root.

Storing and Reheating

Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Stir before serving.
