2. Procure Ginger Simple Syrup or make your own.
We partner with Willowbrook Farms in the Methow Valley for the ginger simple syrup that we use on our coffee bar; it is just the perfect amount of sweet and spicy.

Don't live in the Valley? Don't fret. Cameron, from Willowbrook, kindly created an at-home version for your drinking pleasure:
Home Use Recipe:
2 cups organic sugar
3.5 cups water
4 oz organic ginger- washed, peels on
2 cups organic sugar
3.5 cups water
4 oz organic ginger- washed, peels on
Combine sugar and water in a heavy duty pan. Stir the sugar until dissolved in the water over low heat, bringing to a low boil. While syrup is heating up, wash and rough chop the ginger. Puree the ginger in a food processor or fine chop by hand. Add the finely chopped ginger to the simple syrup after the sugar has completely dissolved and has reached a low rolling boil. Continue to cook syrup down at a low temp for 40mins to an hour- watch so that it does not overflow. Turn off the heat, cover with light-weight towel, and allow to cool. When cool, place pot in fridge. Allow to sit 24hrs. Drain through a mesh bag or a fine mesh sieve, discard ginger, and bottle syrup. Store in the fridge for 3 months.
Yields 1 quart.
