For a deeper ginger flavor, allow the ginger to steep in the syrup for a longer period (up to 24 hours) before straining. Experiment with different types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar, to customize the flavor profile. Sekanjabin is traditionally served diluted with water. Adjust the ratio of syrup to water according to your preference, typically 1 part syrup to 4-5 parts water. Serve chilled or over ice. Garnish with fresh mint or slices of cucumber and lemon for an extra touch of freshness. Sekanjabin can also be drizzled over fresh fruit, such as melon, peaches, or berries, for a delightful dessert.
