I've been meaning to make this for yonks, and the Cook the Elves weekend gave me the perfect opportunity! I shaved the ginger with a potato peeler, which gave it more surface and more flavor. Instead of lemon flavoring I used shaved pieces of lemon peel and strained that out with the ginger. I only had liquid stevia around, and used just a few drops. This makes a great syrup to use with club soda, but it also makes a great syrup to add to a chicken stir-fry. Add just about a tablespoon to your stir-fry with lots of scallions and some lemon-grass, and you have a winner!

This is even better than store-bought Gingerale! I had to use substitutes, though. I used vanilla essence for the vanilla flavouring, sugar for Stevia powder and freshly squeezed lemon juice for the non-alcoholic lemon flavouring. I'll be serving this tomorrow. I "had to" try it first because I have been wanting to make this and taste it since ages!! Thank You for posting and THANK YOU for Zaar!

I tried the recipe as written (except I used sugar instead of stevia). Way too much vanilla for my taste. I actually liked it better without the vanilla or the lemon, just ginger root and sugar.
