Candied Ginger is not only used in baking but is age-old remedy for treating Inflammation, Nausea, Morning Sickness or Motion Sickness etc. Though easily available in stores but I love to prepare Candied Ginger like the Candied Orange Peels just because of the residue Syrup which I use while making flavoured Tea or Sorbet and even sometimes in Cocktails and Mocktails.
