Homemade Honey Gingerale

Over the past few months I’ve been on a sparkling water kick, which prompted me to get a soda stream.

Normally I just make sparkling water and add whatever fruit I have on hand, but a few weeks ago I had a craving for some gingerale (ok, so I really had a craving for a whiskey ginger…) and decided I didn’t want to go to the store. Since I had some fresh ginger leftover from making stir fry I decided to make homemade gingerale.

It was actually very simple. I made a ginger simple syrup with honey rather than sugar because I felt like honey and ginger would be a great combo, I was right (duh :p). Howeveer, if for some reason you don’t like honey, you can definitely sub in sugar in the syrup. You can also use store bought seltzer if you don’t have a soda stream.

I don’t drink a lot of soda, but this recipe just might change that.
