Summery Ginger Mojito

200 grams ginger
140 grams sugar
20 grams honey
300 ml water
2 cinnamon sticks
7 pieces of clove
1/2 red pepper (1/2 of a small stick or some sprinkle of its spice)
1 & 1/3 lemon juice
Mint leaves as garnish

1. Wash and clean the ginger skin and slice them.
2. Add sugar in the sliced ginger in a bowl and leave it in the fridge for about 20 - 30 minutes (or over night) until water comes out of ginger and sugar.
3. You can skip this step but blending the ginger before heating it in the pot deepened the flavor.
4. Add in all other spices and water except for lemon juice and mint leaves and simmer it over low heat for about 20 minutes.
5. Strain the ginger syrup into a bowl and add lemon juice.
6. Store in the fridge till cool down and serve it with sparkling water (ginger syrup : water = 1 : 4 or to your preference) and mint leaves on top as garnish.
