  2. Strain solids where needed and stir in sugar while warm; add lime juice after heating.
  3. Rapidly chill the mixture to refrigerator temperature.
  4. For this original ginger adaptation, add 8 g fresh ginger, thinly sliced to the prepared base and stir or blend until evenly dispersed; if it is a spice or chopped solid, hydrate, infuse or melt it in the warm phase, then strain if necessary.
