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
Grate the skin of 3 lemons and 3 limes
Press the juice out of the lemons and limes and set aside
Mix sugar, grated giner and grated skin into the water
Bring the tea to a boil and turn of the heat and let the tea steep for an hour
Bring down the temperature of the tea to room temperature, for example put it into a cold bath.
When tea is room tempered, add the lemon / lime juice
Strain of the bits and pieces from the tea
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.
