have you tried fresh ginger beer?

only one person in my city makes this stuff fresh every day.

it tastes awesome and apparently it has homeopathic qualities.

take Vernors ginger ale and magnify the ginger by 1000x. My mouth feels like it is on fire but it is refreshing. Like Gatorade with Red Hot in it.


The easy way:

Yield: 14 x 10oz bottles

1 Ginger root
1 Lemon, grated rind only
2 oz Cream of tartar
1 1/2 lb Sugar
1 ga Water; boiling
1 Envelope yeast


Grate and thoroughly mash the ginger root in a bowl. Place in a large pot and add all ingredients except the yeast. Stir until sugar and cream of tartar is dissolved. Allow mixture to cool, then add yeast which has been started ( dissolved) in a little lukewarm water. Cover tightly for 6 hours, then filter first through a tea strainer or similar, then through cloth. **Bottle and cap or cork tightly, sealed. Place in dark, cool (60 degree) place for two weeks. Chill fully before opening to drink.
