I've made this quite often and I just squeeze a wedge of lime into my cup instead of having lime juice on hand. The lime is almost a must with this sweet drink, and the balance of flavours is perfect.<br/>I have not done the candied ginger, though I do like to nibble on the sweet strained pieces without the extra candying step. <br/>The taste of this ginger drink is different than store bought ginger ale, so don't expect that flavour.
