Orange Honey Ginger Ale
"Ginger is a unique aromatic ingredient, one of the few that burn and cool simultaneously. With its pronounced floral character, it has an affinity for both honey and orange. Select a mild honey, such as orange blossom, for this soda. If the honey is too bold, it will fight with the ginger and overpower the orange flavor. Make Ahead: This syrup can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 months...."
