Grated ginger with honey on buttered bread. Do it!

The ginger combines with the honey into some sort of ginger jam and mixes with the butter if you toast your bread. It's really great in the morning to get that slight sugar rush and an extra kick from the ginger. The taste is based on the butter and bread, while the ginger and honey lay the middle ground and reach up into the higher ends of your palate.

Goes well with earl grey tea.

I use the squeeze ginger sometimes in cooking.

Candied ginger must taste amazing, woah.

I remember trying it as a kid and saying it tasted like a Christmas tree

These thingies are probably my favourite candy.
Come in mango (very yummy) and peppermint flavour as well. Lemon and orange too, but I've never seen those in stores. The base flavour is still ginger just to be clear.
They're really chewy though, wouldn't recommend if you have dental fillings.
Supposedly you can make ginger tea with them as well, but I haven't tried that out yet.

I don't really get why they would be good for scuba divers though? The vehicle travel makes sense since ginger should be good for nausea. For singers makes sense, it being good for a sore throat. But scuba diving?

I think it's more about the boat ride out to the dive site, apparently seasickness is a common problem for divers. A lot of scuba divers don't want to take dramamine or other pharmaceuticals because they can cause drowsiness, and you need to be alert when diving.
Kind of redundant with the boat icon though.

I've been meaning to make ginger beer for a while already. I've made a few bugs but they always overflow or autolyse. I should try again one of these days.

Ginger syrup is easy to make and can be a great addition to many cocktails. Peel and dice fresh ginger, and blend with a small amount of water until pulverized. Strain through a cheese cloth, measure your juice, and add to a pot. Bring to a boil, and add 1.5x as much sugar as juice you measured. Reduce to a simmer, stirring constantly with a non-metal spoon. Once the juice has reduced to a think syrup, add to a sterilized bottle and allow to cool. Now you can add 10-15ml of this syrup to soft drinks or cocktails to give it a sweet and spicy kick. Also adds well to tea!

Tried making the ginger tea from >>1156
Kinda meh honestly, not nearly as good as just eating the candies like they are. Takes like 5-7 minutes of stirring to get them completely dissolved too.

Better to get some instant ginger tea packets made of ginger extract, then you can decide how sweet you want it yourself. Can use them in stews/soups as well since they're unsweetened, for a different flavour than ground ginger.
