Ingredients
Scale

- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Peel and slice the ginger into thin, even slices.
- Simmer the ginger in water until tender, about 30 minutes.
- Add sugar to the pot and let it bubble until the ginger turns glossy and the syrup thickens.
- Remove the ginger slices from the pot and coat them in additional sugar.

Notes
Store crystallized ginger in an airtight container away from moisture to prevent it from sticking together. For long storage, it can be frozen if dried adequately.
