Infuse the water with ginger: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add ginger. Reduce heat to medium low and let ginger sit in the simmering water for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 20 minutes. Strain liquid through a fine mesh strainer. Discard ginger pieces.
Make the simple syrup: In a separate saucepan, make the simple syrup by dissolving 1 cup granulated sugar into 1 cup of boiling water. Set aside.
Assemble the ginger ale: Make individual (tall) glasses of ginger ale by mixing ½ cup of ginger water with ⅓ cup of Simple Syrup and ½ cup of club soda. Serve over ice, if you like. Add a few drops of fresh lime juice and a lime wedge to each glass. Did you enjoy this recipe? Let us know with a rating and review!
