1 fresh ginger (thumb sized, sliced)
1 litre of water
12 black peppercorns
8 juniper berries

Equipment:

Knife
Wooden spoon
Measuring jug and scales
Bottles – enough to hold 1 litre of liquid

Method:

Add all of the ingredients into a saucepan, then bring to a slow simmer to dissolve the sugar.
Simmer gently for 20 minutes, then strain through a fine sieve.
