Turmeric Ginger Simple Syrup

0 To make the syrup, combine one cup of hot water with one cup of white sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then add one tablespoon of ground turmeric.
1 I like to place the turmeric in a tea bag to prevent any grit from winding up in the finished syrup. Alternatively, you could strain the finished, cooled syrup through a few layers of cheesecloth.
2 Let the turmeric steep in the hot syrup for about five to ten minutes. When the liquid is a brilliant yellow-orange and flavorful, you can remove the tea bag, squeezing it to extract as much turmeric flavor as possible.
3 Discard the tea bag and add two tablespoons of ginger juice. Stir to combine, then pour the cooled syrup into a bottle or jar with a lid.
4 Store any leftover syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
