Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by washing the ginger root thoroughly and then chopping it finely or grating it. No need to peel the ginger if it’s well-cleaned.
- Rinse the thyme under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Simmer the Ginger and Thyme:
- In a medium saucepan, add the chopped or grated ginger and the fresh or dried thyme to 2 cups of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 20-30 minutes. The liquid should reduce by about half, intensifying the concentration of the ingredients.
Strain and Sweeten:
- After simmering, take the saucepan off the heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- While the liquid is still warm (not hot), stir in honey to taste. Honey acts as a natural sweetener and brings its own antibacterial properties to the syrup.
Storage:
- Transfer the syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle and seal it tightly.
- Store the syrup in the refrigerator. It should keep well for up to 2 weeks.
Usage:
- For cough relief, take 1-2 tablespoons of the syrup every few hours as needed. Make sure not to consume too much, as excessive ginger can be intense for some stomachs.
