I was wondering if someone would recognize what it is. It's ginger slices in simple syrup. It is a frugal tip though. Ginger flavored syrup + carbonated water makes ginger soda. Or as a mixer it goes pretty well with vodka.

You sure are deleting a lot today.

I thought to myself - when initially writing that it's ginger: well duh! Not at my cleverest today....

The bud near the bottom makes it obvious. Although it could be any kind of liquid. Maybe I should do that with my ginger before it goes bad.

Ginger ferments beautifully too, but the sugar concentration in mine is hopefully too high for that since it's in a sealed glass jar and I don't want a ferment blowing up. The same idea, just more water would ferment into ginger beer.

I love the idea of fermenting my own beer, but have never made it over the hump of getting started.
