• 1 cup of ginger, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup of water
• 1/2 cup of sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of red food coloring (optional)

2. Add sugar, honey, and cayenne pepper. Stir until smooth.
3. Add a dash of red food coloring, if you dare.
4. Place in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for exactly 7 minutes and 14 seconds.
5. Remove from oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve.
