This mocktail is a nicely balanced sweet, tart, and zippy drink! The recipe makes a small batch of ginger honey syrup that can also be used in tea, added to seltzer, or used to top ice cream or yogurt. The ginger pieces leftover are not quite candied, so they still have a lot of kick, but they can be added to oatmeal or smoothies for extra spice.
