    Found the origins of this recipe on the internet 20 years ago. Continue to make changes over time. Recipe began with 48 oz of chopped fresh ginger root; pared it down to 42 oz (amount can certainly be adjusted to fit taste). Replaced cane sugar in original recipe with molasses. Can use any honey but prefer orange blossom honey. Lemons, molasses, and honey add subtle aromas and taste. Hibiscus flower syrup provides subtle flavor and some red color addition. 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 charmer with a taste for drama, flair, and adventure; a romantic with a big heart and a killer sense of style. And no matter with whom she danced, she did it all backwards and in high heels!
