It is necessary

  • Homemade Ginger Lemonade:
  • - 300 g fresh ginger (root);
  • - 1 cup of sugar;
  • - 1 cup of water;
  • - 500 ml of water;
  • - 2 limes.
  • Ginger ale:
  • - 1 cup of sugar;
  • - 2 tablespoons of grated ginger root (fresh);
  • - 1 lemon;
  • - ¼ teaspoon of granulated baker's yeast;
  • - 2.5 liters of fresh water.

Instructions

Step 1

Homemade Ginger Lemonade Peel and chop the ginger root. You can cut it into cubes or, if the ginger is fresh, grate it on a coarse grater. On young ginger, the skin is thin, like on fresh potato tubers and is easily peeled off with a fingernail. Old roots cannot be rubbed, as their structure becomes fibrous over time.

Step 2

Place the ginger in a saucepan and pour 0.5 liters of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Strain and refrigerate.

Step 3

Boil liquid syrup with one cup of water and the same amount of sugar. Bring water to a boil, add sugar and cook over medium heat until it is all dissolved and the syrup becomes clear. Refrigerate as well.

Step 4

In a jug, combine the ginger tea, the sugar syrup, and the juice of one lime. Decorate with wedges of the second fruit. Add ice. If this lemonade seems too cloying to you, dilute it with bottled water. You can also mix it with soda water.

Step 5

Ginger Ale Take a plastic 3 liter mineral water bottle. Insert a funnel into the neck and pour the granulated yeast through it.

Step 6

Squeeze the juice out of one lemon. Fresh ginger root, grated on a fine grater, mix with lemon juice and rub with a spoon until a homogeneous gruel is formed. Introduce this mixture into the bottle. If it does not pass through the funnel, dilute slightly with water.

Step 7

Top up the remaining water, cap the bottle and shake the contents. Shake the bottle until the sugar and yeast are dissolved.

Step 8

Store the bottle in a dark, warm place for 24-48 hours. You can check the readiness of the ale by pushing the bottle around the edges. If dents form, the drink is not ready. Refrigerate the ale for at least 12 hours before serving. Open carefully, slowly letting out gas.

Step 9

If you want your ale to have a golden hue, simmer the ginger root for an hour, then refrigerate and cook the ale with this broth.
