Instructions

Combine the honey and 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey fully dissolves, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the grated ginger, and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids.
