Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pitcher, add 25 grams of grated ginger, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and 1 liter of filtered water. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
-
Add 60 milliliters of the strained ginger bug to the pitcher and mix thoroughly.
-
Cover the pitcher with a clean cloth or towel and let it sit at room temperature for about 2 to 3 days. During this time, the ginger beer will ferment, and the flavors will develop.
-
After the fermentation period, strain the ginger beer into bottles to remove any ginger pieces and sediment.
-
Add the juice of 1 to 2 lemons or limes to the strained ginger beer. The citrus juice will add a refreshing tang to the drink.
-
Tightly seal the bottles and let them sit at room temperature for an additional day to build up carbonation.
-
Once the desired level of carbonation is reached, transfer the ginger beer to the refrigerator to chill.
