Gather the ingredients.
In a saucepan on medium heat, combine the sugar and water.
Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the ginger and continue to heat, bringing the syrup to a light boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool and steep in the covered pan for about 1 hour or until it reaches your preferred taste.
Strain out the ginger and bottle under a tight seal.
