Gingerbeer

This recipe is for 10L of non alcoholic ginger beer using a ginger bug.

Recipe

  • 10L water
  • 1L table sugar
  • 1dl grated ginger
  • 6 lemons
  • 3 limes
  1. Grate the skin of 3 lemons and 3 limes

  2. Press the juice out of the lemons and limes and set aside

  3. Mix sugar, grated giner and grated skin into the water

  4. Bring the tea to a boil and turn of the heat and let the tea steep for an hour

  5. Bring down the temperature of the tea to room temperature, for example put it into a cold bath.

  6. When tea is room tempered, add the lemon / lime juice

  7. Strain of the bits and pieces from the tea

  8. Add 1L gingerbug to the tea and mix it up

Bottle the ginger beer and give it 3-5 days to ferment on bottle before you put them into the fridge. I use PET bottles so that I have control over how much carbonation is built up jus by pressing the bottle.
