    Found the origins of this recipe on the internet almost years ago. Continue to make changes over time. Recipe began with 48 oz of chopped fresh ginger root; pared it down to 26 oz (amount can certainly be adjusted to fit taste). Replaced cane sugar in original recipe with molasses. Can substitute clover honey for orange blossom honey. Lemons, molasses, and honey add subtle aromas and taste. Whether or not you like the taste of the end product, the brewing aromas are worth the effort! Has all the attributes of Ginger Rogers: a mysterious charmer with a taste for drama, adventure, and magic; a romantic with a big heart and even bigger dreams with a killer sense of style. And no matter with whom she danced, she did it all backwards and in high heels!
