Yum! I hope you've tried some of Audrey Saunder's recipes?

I looked at a bunch of different recipes before I made mine (have to feed the Hot Lips addiction) and I went with sweeter. My ratio was two cups of sugar to one cup of water. I decided I was making simple syrup with ginger flavor rather than the normal recipes for ginger syrup which have a ratio more like the one you made. Also, never came across peppercorns. I'll have to try that.

I also think I put a lot more ginger in mine. How much is 2oz? I probably put as much in as in that picture for my last batch (I made a double batch).

Not having a kitchen scale, I actually don't know how much 2oz is, which may be why my ginger syrup seems very strong. :) I peeled and sliced a thing of ginger that was about the size as the one in the picture. I think a sweeter syrup would've been better for the drink I was making, but I'm going to try the syrup in some of the recipes from the book, since that's where the recipe for the syrup came from.

Oh and once you strain the ginger out, don't forget to eat it! It makes a really nice ginger candy.
