Ginger ale recently i tried in Punjabi Grill restuarant in Singapore. I remember my grandma making inji sorasam| a ginger syrup and mix with water and give to us when we have indigestion problem. Those days we run when ever she comes and gives this to us . But somehow nowadays started liking this but my children are running now. Try this homemade ginger ale recipe out this summer and i am sure you will love this for sure.
