Ginger Beer: Natural, Delicious, and Healing

Ingredients

  • 7 oz (about 1 1/2 cups) ground ginger
  • 15.2 fl oz (about 1 3/4 cups) mineral water
  • 8 oz (about 1 cup) sugar
    • Optional substitute: organic honey
  • 3.9 fl oz (about 1/2 cup) sparkling water
  • A few drops of lemon juice
  • Lemon slices (for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Simmer the ginger: Add the ground ginger and mineral water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  2. Strain the mixture: Take the pan off the heat. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing lightly to extract the liquid.
  3. Sweeten: Stir in the sugar (or honey) until fully dissolved in the warm ginger liquid.
  4. Cool: Let the mixture sit until it reaches room temperature.
  5. Add fizz and lemon: Once cooled, mix in the sparkling water and add a few drops of lemon juice to taste.
  6. Chill: Pour into a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until thoroughly cold.
  7. Serve: Pour over ice and garnish with lemon slices.

Enjoy a naturally delicious, refreshing ginger beer with a soothing, warming ginger flavor.
