   * Magee said she'd probably use more.
     In pan, simmer 1/2 c. water, 1/3 c. sugar and fresh ginger for 3-4	
  minutes, stirring occasionally.  Set aside to cool 5 minutes. (This	is
  called a simple syrup.)
     In another pan, scald milk and cream (don't boil).	Remove from heat   and
  stir in remaining sugar and the syrup.  Set aside 15 minutes to   allow
  flavors blend.
     Strain ginger solids from milk mixture. Whisk in egg yolks and  
  crystallized ginger.	Return to heat (use either a double boiler or	heat
  diffuser.) Heat gently, stirring constantly, until it becomes a   thin
  custard. Don't allow it to simmer or boil. It should coat the   back of a
  spoon.
   Cool mixture and freeze according to your machine’s instructions.
