We have some ginger syrup that my wife got from her massage therapist, who uses a lot of botanicals, but we haven't opened it yet, as I'm not sure what I'd do with it. This gives me some ideas, though.
Follow-up on the Soft Ginger and Molasses Cookies: I taste the spice more the day after the cookies were baked. It is, however, still a mild taste, so my husband will be happy too.
