This is so delicious! The lemon helps to cut the sweetness but the real ginger flavour is fantastic (and I'm a real ginger fan, ask Zaar Chef Koooka). I let the ginger,lemon and sugar syrup stand for a few hours before I bottled this so that the flavours could infuse. I'll be making this a lot - thanks Chrissy.
