3 cups sugar
2 cups boiling water
11/4 cups ginger juice , 1/2 pound fresh ginger, peeled, cut into
small chunks
3 cups lime juice, (about 20 limes, give or take)

Steps:

To make ginger juice, liquify ginger in a food processor with about 4 tablespoons of lime juice; then using a ricer, cheesecloth, or by pressing (hard!) the pulp through a sieve with the back of a spoon over a measuring cup, extract all of the liquid from the pulp. You should have just about 3/4 cup of ginger or slightly more, or slightly less. Exact amount not necessary but try to have at least 3/4 cup of juice. Toss pulp. Squeeze limes. In a large bowl, pour boiling water over sugar, stirring to dissolve. Stir in ginger and lime juices. The recipe is easily halved, and leftover concentrate can be frozen for future use.
