Use very fresh ginger for the best flavor. Fresh ginger should feel firm and have smooth skin. Old ginger may taste weak or dry.
If you like a stronger taste, use more ginger slices. If you prefer a lighter taste, reduce the amount of ginger slightly.
You can add cinnamon sticks while boiling for a warm sweet aroma. You can also add a few cloves for extra depth. Remove them before canning.
For a summer drink, mix canned ginger water with cold water, ice cubes, and a little honey. Add fresh mint leaves for a refreshing feel.
For a winter drink, warm the ginger water and add a spoon of honey and a little black pepper. It makes a cozy drink at night.
Always check the seal before drinking. If a jar lid is loose or the liquid smells strange, do not use it.
