One of my art friends on Facebook Kanika Marshal posted this recipe and for weeks I've been trying to make it. On the first try, I had cut the ginger, and started it with water, and search the cabinets and didn't have the granulated sugar. So make sure you have all the ingredients before starting this project. I used the liquid from the first boil as tea and put it in the refrigerator. Be careful because ginger is hot.
