What's monkfruit erythritol blend and why do you use it to make this ginger ale recipe?

Monkfruit and erythritol is a blended sweetener that has 0 carbs, 0 calories and sugar free.  Some popular brands I use are Lakanto Monkfruit and WholeEarth.

Should I peel the skin of the ginger to make ginger ale?

It's not necessary to remove the skin of the ginger but if you prefer, you may do so.  It doesn't affect the taste of the ginger syrup.
