These candied ginger pieces are a super snack for between meals and the heat gives them a bit of a kick! You can boil the ginger first without sugar (like tea) to reduce the heat a little. However, we like it hot and therefore boiled the ginger directly in the sugar. Tip: Don't throw away the syrup when draining. It tastes delicious in porridge or in a drink.
