Blackstrap is too bitter.. Maple syrup is even better to use instead of molasses..

The 3 tablespoons in the recipe is directly proportional to the historic recipe, but definitely adjust to your taste. Others I have known who have tried this will make it full strength, and cut it with water before serving – finding that cutting the ginger makes the taste of molasses too overpowering. Thanks for your suggestion!
