This is a very refreshing beverage. Love the combination of candied ginger and pineapple juice. I let the juice refrigerate for 18 hours and the result was a very delicate ginger flavor. This didn't last long...we got 2 large servings. Will definitely double or triple next time. Made for Zaar Stars

I have tried a number of ginger drink compilations lately, and I must say this is one of the best! It has also proven to be one of the best uses for crystallized ginger I have stumbled across. Thank you for posting such a wonderful drink recipe!

Wow. My stomach was bothering me so I wanted to make a ginger drink to help. I found your recipe and made it without even putting it in the fridge and it was great. Settle my stomach immediately. Oh, I made it with fresh ginger too. Thanks for the recipe.
