For a stronger ginger flavor, let the mixture sit overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Adjust the amount of honey and cayenne pepper to suit your personal taste preferences. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as turmeric or cinnamon, for a unique twist. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, but the flavor will be more intense.

Apr 27, 2025I found it a bit too vinegary at first, but after letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours, the flavors mellowed out perfectly.
