Ingredients List
- -----For The Starter-----
- 1/2 oz Yeast
- 2 ts Sugar
- --To Feed The "Plant"-----
- 7 ts Ground Ginger
- 7 ts Sugar
- -----To Flavour-----
- 1 1/2 lb Sugar
- Juice Of 2 Lemons
Directions
Mix starter ingredients with 3/4 pint of warm water in a glass jar. Stir,
cover and leave in a warm place for 24 hours. This is your starter "plant".
Feed the "plant" with 1 teaspoon each of ground ginger and sugar each day.
After 7 days strain through a fine sieve. Dissolve the sugar in 2 pints of
water. Add the lemon juice and the liquid from the "plant". Dilute with 5
pints of water, mix well and store in corked bottles for at least 7 days.
Use strong bottles as pressure may build up which will cause thin bottles
to explode. For the same reason use corked bottles rather than those with
a more secure closure that will not 'give' under pressure.
Ross requested a recipe for ginger beer. This is a recipe that I have
often used and it produces a really old-fashioned drink. It is quite a long
process but well worth the effort. The amount of sugar in the final stage
can be varied according to taste. Please excuse the use of Imperial
measures - I am only a poor ignorant pom.
