Ginger Beer

A simple, easy 3 ingredient, time consuming yes, but healthy and tastes amazing!

Ingredients

Ginger Root

Sugar

Water

Instructions

Ginger Bug

To start you need 1 cup of water that has been cleaned, so boil 1 cup of water and let cool down to room temperature put in a container
and add 2 TBS of Ginger Root and Sugar.
(It has to be real sugar and the Ginger Root can’t be peeled, just rough chopped is fine)
Once cooled put this in a fridge and feed this 2 TBS of ginger and sugar a day until it starts fermenting.

Ginger Beer

In a pot boil 4 cups of water to a raging bowl, add 6 TBS of Ginger and 6 TBS of sugar.

Take 1/2 cup of the ginger bug and strain it and add it into the ginger beer and mix it in.

Once the ginger beer is at a raging boil take it to medium and let it simmer for 5 minutes, then take it off the heat.

Once its cooled down pour it into some containers, and let it cool completely down and put it in the fridge and let it be for 3 days.

This is an excellent drink, the mature cousin of ginger ale, and is great for your stomach and many different things, we hope you enjoy.
