I haven't had traditional ginger wine, but in the past I decided to make a sort of infused ginger wine of my own, and the below is what I came up with. It's delicious. :) Although I no longer drink alcohol, I thought others would appreciate having the recipe. Read more Traditional ginger wine, produced before the holidays from scratch, is popular in some parts of England and Scotland. While this version isn't exactly traditional, this is a tasty addition to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays! Prep time includes letting it sit before serving. See less
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon rind (zest of 1 lemon) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice shopping list
- 1 (750 ml) bottle white wine shopping list
- 1/3 cup honey or golden syrup, to taste shopping list
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger shopping list
- 1/4 cup raisins, chopped roughly (can use mixture of regular and golden raisings) shopping list
- 1 ounce brandy or cognac, to taste shopping list
How to make it
- In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon zest and juice, wine, honey or golden syrup, ginger, and raisins.
- Raise the heat to medium-high, stirring constantly until the honey or golden syrup is melted, which will take about 4 minutes, but do not allow to boil.
- Add the brandy or Cognac and place into glass container.
- Refrigerate at least one day (or two, to taste), then strain the wine and serve in small glasses; it will be slightly cloudy but very tasty and very good for helping digest those large dinners everybody had!
- Note: honey and golden syrup have different tastes, and I like both. It's nice to have the both versions of the wine with made, for different folks' tastes!
