ginger-beer recipe on DishRoll

Ingredients

• 1 4 oz fresh ginger, grated
• 2 1 cup sugar
• 3 Juice of 2 limes
• 4 4 cups water
• 5 ⅛ tsp active dry yeast (for natural carbonation)
• 6 Pinch of cream of tartar

Instructions

1. 1
   Boil ginger in 2 cups water for 5 min. Strain into a jar, pressing ginger to extract flavor.
2. 2
   Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
3. 3
   Add lime juice, remaining 2 cups water, yeast, and cream of tartar. Stir well.
4. 4
   Transfer to a plastic bottle (not glass — pressure builds). Cap tightly. Leave at room temperature 24–48 hours.
5. 5
   Refrigerate once fizzy. Open carefully over the sink — it is VERY carbonated. Serve ice-cold.
