Someone is likely to ask about this process, so here is the explanation. Lemon-ginger syrup is to be consumed mixed 6-8 parts of water to one part syrup. It is a simple syrup, based on the standard Cariadoc mint sekanjabin syrup:
4 cups sugar & 2.5 cups water, brought to a boil
add 1 cup lemon juice and reduce to a simmer, and
one 4" long section of ginger rhizome, peeled and chopped
simmer until reduced by 1/3. Cover and allow to cool over night.
Strain out ginger. Bottle syrup.
Mix up a simple sugar syrup: 1 c sugar to 1/3 c water. Bring to a boil and cook until it reaches the soft-ball stage (224-240 deg. F). Put in ginger pieces. Simmer 10-15 minutes. Remove ginger, drain and toss with sugar to coat, Allow to dry.
