Well this is sort of minor, but yesterday, my mother asked me what was in this little jar. I smelled it and said "it's my ginger syrup I made for you." She said she'd have some ginger ale then! Then she asked me if I were sure it was ginger syrup, as it tasted buttery. I tasted it, and after a minute, I realized it must be the concoction we used to make roasted spicy ginger nuts with ginger, butter, cayenne, worchestershire, bla bla bla. Oops! Not a good iced beverage.
