ginger is hot

So ginger seems good for you, so I added sugar and made it candy. It turned out great, but I didn't really expect it to retain so much of the hot spiciness through the candying process. Oh well, it helps me eat less at a time. As an added bonus, I used too much water for the sugar crystallization step, so I poured off about half the liquid after it had boiled for like 15 minutes and used it as a syrup for quasi-ginger ale by mixing with some cranberry lime seltzer. It was great! Also spicy.
