Results:

It didn't taste good and it looked weird. It smelt a lot like ginger, which I was hoping for, but it was too strong of a smell. The taste was just too strong for me to handle but I think that it was just because I added all the ginger I was given. It did have a kind of sweet taste but it didn't really help it.
