first attempt at a ginger "ale"

1L water
99g grated fresh ginger
300g turbinado sugar
10 crushed allspice pods
1T lime juice

combine everything, bring to a boil...   boil for 10 minutes, strain into a canning jar for cooling. 

tomorrow, i'll transfer it to a 2L bottle and force carbonate with some of my beer equipment.   the syrup is pretty tasty, though.

Edit:   this particular mix has the "bite" that i'm looking for, but is a little too sweet for my taste.   also, it's a bit cloudy, so I may need to get some pectic enzyme to clear up the pectin that formed from boiling the ginger.
