Ginger is a well-known and beloved spice. In the kitchen, only the root of the plant is used, which is rightfully considered one of the most useful natural products. Ginger tincture, when consumed in moderation, helps improve memory, restores skin color and tone, and helps fight excess weight. It is recommended to prepare ginger tincture with vodka. The drink will be ready in 12 days.

How to cook Ginger tincture

Step 1

Prepare the ginger. Cut the washed, fresh ginger root into rings or half rings no more than 7 mm thick. Place them on the bottom of the jar.

Step 2

Prepare the tincture. Pour honey over the ginger. Pour in vodka and close the lid tightly. Shake until the honey is completely dissolved. Put the drink in a dark, cool place for 12 days.

Step 3

Strain the tincture. After 12 days, take out the jar with ginger tincture. Shake it several times. Strain it with gauze. Pour it into a convenient container.

Ginger tincture - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute honey with another sweetener in the ginger tincture?

Yes, you can use maple syrup, agave nectar, or even sugar syrup as alternatives to honey. Adjust the quantity to taste, as each sweetener has a different level of sweetness.

How long can I store homemade ginger tincture, and what’s the best way to store it?

The tincture can be stored for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place. For longer shelf life, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge.

Is there a non-alcoholic version of this ginger tincture?

Yes, you can replace vodka with apple cider vinegar or a mix of water and lemon juice for an alcohol-free alternative. Note that the flavor profile and shelf life will differ.

Can I use ground ginger instead of fresh ginger for this recipe?

Fresh ginger is preferred for optimal flavor, but in a pinch, you can use 1 tsp of ground ginger per 1 tbsp of fresh. Strain thoroughly as ground ginger may leave sediment.

What’s the best way to serve ginger tincture?

Serve it chilled as a digestive shot, mix it into cocktails, or dilute it with sparkling water for a refreshing drink. A small serving (1-2 oz) is usually sufficient.

Can I adjust the strength of the ginger flavor in the tincture?

Yes, for a milder taste, reduce the ginger amount or steep for fewer days. For stronger flavor, add more ginger or extend steeping up to 14 days.

Is it possible to make a larger batch of this tincture? Any adjustments needed?

You can scale up the recipe proportionally. Use a larger jar, ensuring ingredients are fully submerged. Steeping time remains the same for consistent flavor.

Can I add other spices or flavors to the ginger tincture?

Yes! Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, or lemon zest during steeping for extra complexity. Strain them out before bottling.
