Why not boil the intended amount of water to be added to the undiluted neutral your starting with (maybe a tad more to make up for any lost in steam),
add the wanted amount of ginger, grated finely,
Immediately turn heat down till simmering / no longer boiling,
Steep 15 minutes, take off heat, allow to cool then strain,
Add to neutral.
Basically adding ginger-infused water to neutral.
Takes 30 minutes rather than 3 months.
If a sweeter, thicker version was wanted, one could even reheat the ginger infused water, add in enough sugar to achieve a syrupy texture (taking into account how much neutral you will be adding it to, and adjusting thickness accordingly)
Just wondering. :think:
(I was planning to use this recipe i just provided, and now im wondering the benefits of doing it your way)
