This was sort of a spur of the moment thing. Now, obviously this isn't baked, but I thought it was special enough to make it into my blog. I brought about a gallon of water to a boil with a cup of white sugar, about half a cup of freshly sliced ginger and about 1/4 cup of lemon zest. I let this simmer for about an hour maybe. Into that I squeezed fresh lemon juice from maybe four huge lemons. It was very good, the ginger/sugar combo gave it a sweetness and it had just enough lemon flavor with a hint of spice from the ginger. This recipe could be chilled in the summer and warmed in the winter and autumn for a refreshing unique beverage.
