Homemade Ginger Beer Recipe

 

Ginger Beer

Put the ginger "plant" in a jar with 4 cups of cold water and 2 teaspoonsfull each of ground ginger and sugar. Then every day, feed with one teaspoonfull each of ground ginger and sugar

After a week strain the whole thing through muslin (its a cloudy looking liquid) , add 18 cupfulls of cold water and 3 cups of sugar that has been dissolved in 4 cups of boiling water. Add the juice of 2 lemons. Then bottle ( 6 - 8 pints ) preferably in ginger beer or screw top bottles, screw the caps in lightly and leave for a fortnight.

Meanwhile scrape the plant out of the muslin into the original jar and add 4 cups of water. Now divide the mixture in half, you must divide the plant every week or it will die ! Add 2 teaspoonfull each of ginger and sugar to each of the jars and feed daily as before.
