Refreshing Ginger Beer

This recipe provides an easy and enjoyable way to whip up a batch of homemade ginger beer right in your kitchen. With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a bubbly drink that’s perfect for sipping on a warm day or enjoying with meals.

Ingredients

2 cups of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast
8 cups of water
Additional lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Start by boiling 4 cups of water in a large pot. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the grated ginger and sugar.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This helps to extract the flavor from the ginger.
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and add the lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Next, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove the ginger pieces. Make sure to press down to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add the remaining 4 cups of cold water to the bowl, mixing well.
Let the mixture cool until it’s lukewarm. Once cooled, sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and stir gently. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for about 2-3 hours. You should notice some bubbles forming as the yeast activates.
After the yeast has activated, pour the ginger beer into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal the bottles tightly.
Let the bottles sit at room temperature for another 2-3 days. This fermentation process will create carbonation. Be sure to check occasionally to release any excess pressure.
Once fermented to your liking, refrigerate the bottles. Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade ginger beer with a garnish of lemon slices and fresh mint leaves!

Now that you have this easy-to-follow recipe, you’re all set to impress everyone with your homemade ginger beer. Cheers to tasty sips and refreshing moments!
