How to measure a splash of ginger juice

By hilling · · 1 minute

Turn “a splash” into a measured amount once, then decide whether it suits your glass. A teaspoon or tablespoon is easier to repeat than a free pour from a wide bottle.

Start with one teaspoon of ginger juice in the drink you are making. Stir and taste. If you want more, add another teaspoon and note the total. Concentrates may need less, so follow their dilution instructions first.

This is especially helpful when sharing a recipe. Your splash could be someone else's quarter cup. Measurements also make it easier to compare two variations without accidentally changing the ginger strength in both. Once you know your preferred amount, you can pour more casually—but the written recipe should still give a reader something concrete to use.
