Notes on Ginger: Ginger gets pretty sharp pretty fast, so you can always start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more if needed. I went with 1/2 teaspoon and it was perfect for my tastes.
Storage: Fridge – store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Freezer – can be frozen for up to 4 months (this and this are my favorite freezer storage containers).
