directions

  • Place ginger pulp into a large, heat-proof container that is enameled or made of glass or stainless steel.
  • Cover with 8 cups of boiling water. Cover loosely with a cloth and set aside in a warm place.
  • After an hour or so, strain the liquid through a cloth, squeezing pulp to extract all the flavor.
  • Stir in lime or desired fruit juice, cinnamon stick, half the cloves and 8 cups of cold water.
  • Let liquid sit another hour, in the sun if possible. *This allows the starch from the ginger to settle.
  • Pour mixture gently through a cloth to strain it, trying not to disturb any sediment at the bottom. Strain again if necessary.
  • Stir in remaining cloves and sugar, then transfer the ginger beer to a jar and refrigerate.

  1. This was pretty good. Tom choose to make this for ZWT4 because it reminded him of what he used to get as a kid (yes, here in Texas). He said it was a little like it, but what he used to get was out of a can, so he's sure this is much better. Both of the kids thought it was good. I LOVED the smell of him making it. Overall, we think it's good - it IS very refreshing though... a definitely "ahhhh!" as you drink it :)

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
