Jump to RecipeTo infuse the ginger ale with aromatic spices, start by adding a cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom pods to a pot of boiling water. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the water is infused with the spices.
While the spice infusion is simmering, peel and grate fresh ginger and add it to a pot with water. Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for 10 minutes. This will extract the ginger's flavor and create a concentrated ginger extract.
